Adopted, November 23, 1918, as the Offi
r E war now happily brought to a close has
been above all a war to end war, but in
order to ensure the fruits of victory and to
prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe
there should he formed a T.racmr of Free Na
tions, as universal as possible, based upon treaty
nnd pledged that the security of each state shall
rest upon the strength of the whole. The initiating
nucleus of the membership of the League
should be the nations associated as belligerents
in winning the war.
The League should aim at promoting the
liberty, progress, and fair economic opportunity of
all nations, and the orderly development of the
world.
It ~*puld ensure peace by eliminating causes of
dissension, by deciding controversies by peaceable
means, and by uniting the potential force of
" all the members as a standing menace against
any nation that seeks to upset the peace of the
world.
The advantages of membership in the League,
both economically and from the point of view
of security, should be so clear that all nations
will desire to be members of it.
For this purpose it is necessary to create?
1. For the decision of justiciable_ questions, an
impartial tribunal whose jurisdiction shall not
depend upon the assent ,of the parties to the controversy;
provision to be made for enforcing its
decisions.
2. For questions that are not justiciable in
their character, a Council of Conciliation, as mediator,
which shall hear, consider, and make recommendations;
and. failing acquiescence by the
parties concerned, the League shall determine
what action, if any, shall be taken.
3. An administrative organization tor the con

and care of backward regions and internationalized
places, and such matters as have been jointly
administered before and during the war. We
hold that this object must be attained by methods
and through machinery that will ensure both
stability and progress; preventing, on the one
hand, any crystallization of the status quo that
will defeat the forces of healthy growth and
change, and providing, on the other hand, a
way by which progress can be secured and necessary
change effected without recourse to war.
4. A representative Congress to formulate and
codify rules of international law, to inspect the
work of the administrative bodies and to consider
any matter affecting the tranquility of the
world or the prop-ess or betterment of human
relations. Its deliberations should be public.
5. An Executive Body, able to speak with authority
in the name of the nations represented,
and to act in case the peace of the world is
endangered.
The representation of the different nations in the
organs of the League should be in proportion to
the responsibilities and obligations they assume.
The rules of international law should not be defeated
for lack of unanimity.
A resort to force by* any nation should be
prevented by a solemn agreement that any "aggression
will be met immediately by such an

will not be attempted.
No member of the League should make any
other offensive or defensive treaty or alliance,
and all treaties of whatever nature made by,any
member of the League should at once be made
public.
Such a League must be formed at thf time of the definitive
peace, or the opportunity may be lost forever.
