Produktbeschreibung
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. The original statement describing the plan, sent to the President on August 18, 1914, reprinted in full in the Appendix of this volume, began with these words: "The United States will take a leading part in ending the prevailing world-war. It is the only strong nation in position to be an umpire acceptable to all warring nations. President Wilson recognized this fact in tendering his good offices." "This nation should use its dominant influence for a plan that will insure permanent peace without insanely large universal armaments. It must not help patch up a mere temporary armed truce that can only mean a still greater war later and unbearable burdens upon all humanity meantime."
