Abstract:
The Pacifist Research Bureau was formed in March 1942 by a representative group of religious pacifists from churches and leading pacifist organizations. It studied current problems and reported its findings in pamphlet form.

Earlier referred to as the Pacifist Research Commission, the Pacifist Research Bureau was formed in March 1942 by a representative group of religious pacifists from churches and leading pacifist organizations. It based its work upon the philosophy of pacifism, the creation of a world brotherhood, and sacrificial good will as the only means of overcoming evil. The Bureau studied current problems and reported its findings in pamphlet form, hoping to make a solid contribution based on scientific research.
