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.
D is a rm a m e n t,
d ip lo m atic,
eco­
nom ic and o ther co m m ittees un­
q uestion ab ly would be requ ired to
m a in ta in sufficient p erm an en t of­
fices to advise the secu rity council
about w h a t actions should be recom ­
m ended to the nations.

This theory of peace has become

failed was because the U n ited States
did not join its influence.
