Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations This, or something like this, has hitherto been the history of the ideal that has now become associated with the phrase A League of Nations; but it does not follow that the history of this'or of other ideals will be the same after the war as before it. There is more at stake in this war than the existence of individual States or Empires, or the fate of a Continent; the whole of modern civilization is at stake, and whether it will perish and be submerged, as has happened to previous civilizations of older types, or whether it will live and progress, depends upon whether the nations engaged in this war, and even those that are onlookers, learn the lessons that the experience of the war may teach them. It must be with nations as with individuals; in the great trials of life they must become better or worse - they cannot stand still. They must learn and profit by experience and rise to greater heights, or else sink lower and drop eventually into the abyss. And this war is the greatest trial of which there is any record in history. If the war does not teach mankind new lessons that will so dominate the thought and feeling of those who survive it, and those who succeed the survivors, as to make new things possible, then the war will be the greatest catastrophe as well as the most grievous trial and suffering of which mankind has any record.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations: An Historical Argument; The Conditions of the Problem the League of Nations on Paper the Lesson of History I hope we may say remarked the Prime Minister in announcing the terms of the armistice concluded On 11 November, 'that thus, this fateful morning, came an end to all wars.' It is a larger hope than has probably ever been expressed by a responsible statesman before, and we may well inquire upon what it depends and what grounds for so great a confidence in the per manence of peace a survey of past and present provides for the future. Various answers of various worth will be given by the politician, the lawyer, and the seer, by the dealers in things as they are and the prophets of worlds to be. But there isroom in the discussion for those whose profession at least is to learn and to tell how things come to pass in the sphere of human affairs for the scripture of history has not been written in vain, and we may be quite sure that our dream Of a League of Nations will be the baseless fabric of a vision unless it is woven of the threads of human experience upon the loom Of past achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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?

Download or read book League of Nations written by Alfred Owen Crozier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations and the Democratic Idea Among all the evil aspects in which War has revealed itself to our generation there is none more horrible or more widely felt than its enslavement of whole nations to the will of the few. It is no part of my task to discuss the origins of the present War. The verdict of history is, in my judgement, already irrefutably pronounced; the War of 1914 was a war of ambition forced by the German Government upon an unwilling world. But my present purpose is to discuss the War merely as a fact, irrespective of any questions of its 'justice' or 'injustice' or the comparative degrees of guilt resting on this party or that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations: The Way to the World's Peace The German banner of the World's Peace - the Reichstag's Peace Resolution of the 19th July, 1917 - bears these devices: "Peace by understanding and lasting reconciliation of the Nations." "The Reichstag will energetically promote the establishment of the guarantees of international jurisprudence." This was the oath of allegiance to the League of Nations, which since then has made its triumphant progress throughout the world, although it has also made its appearance, under various guises, in isolated countries. In this volume it will he considered, in detail, how the Reichstag Resolution is to be carried into effect in everyday life; how the way may be cleared for the peace of the world. This book will arouse much opposition, and will encounter many criticisms, but may nevertheless conduce to the elucidation of the subject, for we can no longer make any further headway to-day by means of catchwords and headlines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The League of Nations and the New International Law That for which Hugo Grotius plead is coming to pass war is to be outlawed. Certain kinds of war are to be re garded, for the first time in history, as illegal; and, that which is of equal importance, the nebulous thing known as international law is, likewise, for the first time in history, to have a sanction so that the word illegal as applied to the action of States will have real significance. This is the subject of Mr. Harley's treatise. Few things could be more timely and few statements could be more basic, more refreshingly new nor more happily made. Take this bit, summarizing the kinds of war which are now become illegal for the signatories to the Paris Covenant.
