 Dr. Salazar then said that he was particularly gratified  
   in my earlier statement that the Committees set up in Wash-  
   ington were working in an atmosphere of peace and not of war.  
   He said he felt very strongly that men who make war are not  
   suited to the task of making the peace. With considerable  
 emphasis and even a touch of emotion, he said that he dreaded  
   a peace bred of the bitterness of war and based on hatred and  
   revenge. Making war was easier than making peace. In war one  
   needed only armies and armament, which can always be found;  
   but peace called for vision and understanding. I expressed  
   a confident hope that Dr. Salazar would play a very important  
                      roll in the peace.
