This council cannot itself wage

(Cost of these w ars or actions
a re ap p are n tly to be borne by
the
nations
furnishing
the

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

T h e re is to be a m ilita r y staff

staff of the U n ited Nations, p e rm a

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.

This theory of peace has become
