Explanation
The Philadelphia Declaration (1944) affirms that labour is not a commodity, that freedom of expression and association are essential, and that poverty anywhere endangers prosperity everywhere. But it says the war against want must be waged within each nation and by continuous and concerted international effort, not as solely the government's responsibility. Hence D is not one of its aims.
