Read the excerpt from the Joint Statement by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill. Eighth, they believe that all of the nations of the world, for realistic as well as spiritual reasons must come to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments. Which best describes the tone of the excerpt?
The excerpt uses official, carefully worded language to state the leaders’ position on disarmament and security. Its serious, diplomatic style is formal, rather than personal or conversational. “Impartial” does not best describe it because the statement clearly advocates disarmament as essential to peace.
