Book Description
Excerpt from A League of Nations The war has called forth some good books on the future international organization Of the world, and others on the settlement Of the war itself TO my thinking, these two questions are a single problem which must be solved as a whole. The task which for us exceeds all others in importance, and must be made to include all others, is the making of conditions which promise security from further wars. The settlement of the national, colonial, and economic questions involved in this war, must be a settlement which will help the creation, and ensure the harmonious working Of a League of Nations founded to maintain peace. In this book I have tried to consider how far such a League Of Nations as President Wilson has proposed, can guarantee the security of Europe. Its success will depend, not merely on the wise drafting Of its constitution, but upon the solution reached in the war-settlement of our problem's of nationality, colonial expansion, international trade, sea-power, and alliances, I have groped in the following chapters for an answer to this question: Under what political and economic conditions would the creation of a League of Nations be a hopeful adventure?

Book Description
Excerpt from League of Nations: An Alliance? Or a Nation of Nations? The Pioneer plan for a league of nations to be organized at the end of the world war, so as to make another such war impossible or improbable, was fully prepared on August 10, 1914, ten days after the great world war began. That plan is described herein in detail and contrasted with other plans. It was mailed to President Wilson August 18, 1914. It was referred by the White House to the Department of State, according to the letter of the Secretary of State to the author, dated September 17, 1914. In October, 1914, it was made public. The volume Nation of Nations, elaborating the plan with a tentative draft of a Supreme Constitution for the suggested international government and police power, was published just after June 17, 1915, when the League to Enforce Peace was organized at Philadelphia to promote a league of nations of an entirely different character, a world treaty alliance, as herein shown. Both plans are described and contrasted in that book, and in this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The League of Nations, the Principle and the Practice It is undeniable that the great mass of intelligent people of Europe and America have come to the belief, as a result of the catastrophe that befell the civilized world in 1914, that a different international organization from the one existing at that time was essential to the peaceful development of humanity. This opinion crystallized into a demand for a league of nations of some kind, and the problem of organizing such a league was given precedence over all the other problems that were pressing for attention at the Peace Conference. The Covenant of the League has been adopted by the Conference and will shortly go to the signatory states for ratification. Ought it to be ratified? The answer to this question can be given only after we have decided what we mean by the thing itself. Graham Wallas has said: "It is this last relation between words and things which makes the central difficulty of thought about politics. The words are so rigid, so easily personified, so associated with affection and prejudice; the things symbolized by the words are so unstable." The cry has gone up for a league of nations. But what do we mean by a league of nations? Is it something new, or have there been similar proposals in the past? Before 1914, or during the war, had the nations developed institutions which pointed the way to a league? What is the philosophy underlying a league of nations? How shall the League be organized? More important still, what are the actual duties which the League should be called upon to perform? For only in so far as it functions continuously, will the League of Nations be a vital thing. Finally, what shall be America's relation to the League of Nations? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Permanent League of Nations With all the hard-bought experience to which they have subjected the German and Austrian peoples, it is evident that the war lords of the Central Powers are still living in a fool's paradise and will never learn the meaning of the Object lessons which the war and its sufferings ought to have taught them long ago. That they do not seem now to realize the peril in which they have placed the German and Austrian peoples by their refusal to recognize existing world con ditions is shown by their dismissal of one of their own statesmen who told the German people they could not hope to end the war by a military decision alone.
