The Nobel committee passed on awarding the Peace Prize for 1933, a rebuke to the world rather than those pursuing lasting peace. It notes limited concrete achievement since 1931, despite disarmament talks and plans, and hopes for potential gains in 1934 while acknowledging earnest efforts by Henderson, Ramsay MacDonald, Mussolini, and two living U.S. presidents. The committee remembers present efforts as they look ahead.
