Southern Oregon Miner, Thursday, November 2, 1944 £ N ews B ehin the / ne By* P M aul allon <N- This council cannot itself wage w a r, but can ca ll upon the U n ited Nations to wage prac tic a lly an yth ing fro m social iso lation of a nation to Invasion. (Cost of these w ars or actions a re ap p are n tly to be borne by the nations furnishing the a rm ie s or tak in g the steps.) The council is to be alw ays read y for action, although no provisions fo r housing it a re m entioned. I would th in k it would be established in W ashington fo r this reason: The league was la rg e ly a E u ro pean device. This is to be a world device. To choose some sm all n eu tral place such as Sw itzerland, or to use the old league buildings th ere, would subject it to the old unsatisfactory surroundings in which it was unsuccessful. W ashington is the n a tu ra l background for its new tone and intent. N o th in g in the text, how ever, des ignates W ashington as the h ead q uar ters fo r the new League of Nations a fte r this w ar. T h e re is to be a m ilita r y staff co m m itte e, m ade up of the chiefs of staff of the U n ited Nations, p e rm a nen tly advising the secu rity council as to how to m eet aggressors. In effect, this in te rn atio n al m ilita ry staff would conduct the fu ture w ars, or blockades or m ilita r y actions ag ain st non-cooperative powers.
