How do you interpret the phrase "one, for many?" Is that what leads you to the conclusion they are asking about peace on Earth?
Why do you think they have any concept of whether or not there is peace here? Didn't they report they had been asleep for hundreds of years? How would they know? What would they know about the state of our political affairs?
My interpretation of "We are one, for one. You are too old to be one, for many" is they are surprised there are still racial differences among our people. There may have been analogous differences between members of their species at some time in their pre-space flight history that disappeared before they achieved the stage at which our development has reached. I see the statement as expressing confusion that there is not homogeneity in our planet-wide society.
