He talks about unilateral disarmament and how it would require a radical change in attitude; 02:26 Sibley mentions that we need non-violent talks although it is not enough. We would also need a radical reorientation of the economic system to bridge the gap between over developed and under developed countries; 05:20 Sibley states that a program of disarmament would need to appeal to people as well as governments, meaning military matters must be made available to people. He continues to say that this program could lead to a race of disarmament, rather than armament; 10:20 Noel Parrish begins his discussion; 11:45 Parrish talks about the perception of wars before World War II and that all wars were aggressive and everyone involved were at fault. He states the wars could have been avoided using diplomatic maneuvers; 13:40 Parrish talks about the belief of developing undeveloped countries.

He talks about the nature of man himself and how much man would need to change to get to disarmament; 30:00 Rich discusses how men have been able to live peacefully; 33:18 Rich states that in order to get rid of this problem we need to institutionalize the use of violence through government; 34:19 Cecil Hinshaw begins his discussion; 35:19 Hinshaw talks about important key points that need to be made about evil existing in the world; 36:36 Hinshaw also talks about the revolution in Hungary during November, 1956.
