We hope and pray that this second World War will soon come to an end, and that war-weary, heavy-hearted peoples may again have peace. What then? After all the suffering, after all the destruction of human life, shall we be so blind as to have it start all over again? If the germ of hate is permitted to develop, if strong nations strive to dominate the weak as Mussolini did Ethiopia, as Japan did Manchuria; if the few ruling nations, mighty in the implements of warfare, seek to dominate weaker nations and to tell them how to live and what to do; if they seek success only in materialism and shut their eyes to the value of human souls; if they reject the teachings of Christ and pursue their selfish interests, history will repeat itself, the world will be plunged into another war, and again the Lord in pity and sorrow will weep over the folly and blindness of the human race. —David O. McKay, 1944
