Mr. Liaquat All Khan said, "It Is dumcult to see how peace can be maintained when there is an economic disequilibrium in the world. It is difficult to see how this disequilibrium can be moved in time to save the world from the catastrophe of war unless more advanced countries-in-the world take an elevated and en- lightened view of their mora! responsibility."
