Signed by Eisenhower on the first page. Focuses on protecting freedom and equality, unity and promoting international economic interdependence. Outlines nine principles to advance peace and freedom throughout the world. "The peace we seek, then, is nothing less than the practice and fulfillment of our whole faith among ourselves and in our dealings with others. This signifies more than the stilling of guns, easing the sorrow of war. More than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave."
