LEAGUE PLANS.
Preparations for the organiztior
of the League of Nations are beinj:
made in London by Sir Eric Drum
mond, secretary-general, and Ray
mond B. Fosdick, an American un
der-secretary, so that the league
will be in readiness to function at
its first meeting, to be called in
Washington. The date of this meet
ing is undecided.
Colonel E. M. House and Lord
Robert Cecil and other members of
the organization committee of the
league have been taking part in the
preliminary organization work.
The organization committee al
ready has adopted a resolution con
templating that member states may
assign some of their own officials
for service under the league, and
has recommended that “the govern
ments of states members of the
league shall take into consideration
the services of their officials in the
International Secretariat."
In preparatory work for the
foundation for the international
court of justice, the committee is
understood to have arrived at the
opinion that it would be desirable
to invite a number of eminent in
ternational jurists to give their
opinions on the constitution of such
a court, and has voted to take up
the question in detail at some sub
sequent meetings. The action of
the committee is said to indicate
t that the work of organizing such a
court will be carried forward from
a point where it was started by the
United States at The Hague twelve
years ago, when Elihu Root, then
secretary of state, in his instruc
tions to the American delegates,
charged them to work for the cre
ation of an international court
about twice the size in membership
of the supreme court of the United
States.
The members of the organization
committee are: Stephen Pinchon,
France, chairman; Edward M.
House, United States; Lord Robert
Cecil, British Empire; Marquis Im
periali, Italy; M. Belin Jaequomyns,
Belgium; Viscount Chinda; Japan:
M. Venizelos, Greece; Guinones ds
Leon. Spain, and Antonio O. de
Magalhaes, Brazil.
LODGE VS. LODGE.
“Nations must unite as men unite
in order to preserve peace and or
der. The great nations must be so
united as to be able to say to any
single country, ‘You must not go
to war,’ and they can say that ef
fectively when the country desiring
war knows that the force which the
united nations place behind peace
is irresistible.
“We have done something in ad
vancing the settlement by arbitra
tion of many minor questions which
in former times led to war and re
prisals, although the points of dif
ference were essentially insignifi
cant; but as human nature is at
present constituted and the world
is at present maneged, there are
certain questions which no nation
would submit voluntarily to the ar
bitration of any tribunal, and the
attempt to bring such questions
within the jurisdiction of an arbi
trary tribunal not only fails in its
purpose, but discredits arbitration ;
and the treaties by which the im-.
possible is attempted.
“In differences between individu
als the decision of the court is
final, because in the last resort the
entire force of the community is ':
behind the court decision. In dif-1;
ferences between nations which go ,
; beyond the limited range of arbitra
t ble questions, peace can be main
jtained only by putting behind it the
j force of united nations determined
to uphold and prevent war. * * *
“It might be easily said that this
; idea, which is not a new one, is im- !
I practicable; but it is better than i '
the idea that war can be stopped by , i
language, by speech-making, by ‘t
vain agreements which no one would 1
carry out when the stress came, by I
denunciations of peace, in which ail. j
men agree, for these methods are J
i-11
| not only imparticable but impossi
j ble and barren of all hope of real j
j result. It may seem Utopian at
I this moment to suggest a union of J
! civilized nations in order to put a
j controlling force behind the main-' |
: ter.ance of peace and international j j
order, but it is through the aspira- J
tions for perfection, through the |
j search for Utopias, that the real’j
advances have been made. At all j j
events it is along this path that we ! .
must travel if we are to attain in I
any measure to the end we all de- •
isire of peace upon earth.” * j
. The author of these inspiring sen- j
itiments is not Woodrow Wilson, c
ipoints out the New York Sun, but *
jHenry Cabot Lodge, Senator in the
i Congress of the United States from -
| Massachusetts and leader of the]5
Republican majority. The address ‘
jin which these sentiments were ex- *
:pressed was delivered at Union col- *
jlege in June, 1915, nearly a year]1
latter the great war had begun and ■}
four years before the covenant of 1
i
the League of Nations became the
great diplomatic achievement of the ,
I peace conference.
j Recently in the senate Mr. Lodge, -
i assailed the covenant of the League T
because it had undertaken to do (
:the very things that he demanded ^
that it should do when he delivered '
the address at Union college. The
‘path that we must travel” in 1915 I
is now the road of “visionaries,”]1
and while it may be proper enough '
| that other nations should restrict
their freedom of action in order to (
avoid war, the United States must
! I
i yield nothing to help guarantee the 1
; peace of the world. Wilson and ]
, Lloyd George and Balfour and Lord
Milner and Robert Cecil and Clem- *
enceau and Pichon and Tardieu and
1
the representatives of a score of i
other nations are dreamers and J
rhetoricians, and the practical i
statesmanship of the world is at [
present restricted to a little group 1
of obstructionist senators engaged in *
playing 1920 campaign politics.
