Question of National Rights.

Shall the forthcoming world league
be formed on the basis that the rights
and duties of the nations of earth shall
be expressly stated. and that the sew
eral nations shall mutually guarantee
to each other the observance of these
rights. all differences to be settled
peacefully in an international court?
Or shall the national rights and duties
be left unstated very largely. with
lawful right in each nation or group of
nations to declare. war in connection
with all issues involving national
honor and vital interests. provided an
international commission shall have in
vestigated each dispute and reported
to the public its recommendation?
Under this latter plan there would
be continuance of competition in
armament. necessarily: whereas under
the first described plan there would be
an end to competitive ornaments. the
supreme power being vested in the
world league government. Stated an
other way, under one plan there would
be some non-justiciable issues. along
with competition in armament and
war. doubtless: while under the other
plan there would be mutual guar
antee of national rights with peaceful
settlement of all disputes. along with
gradual reduction of armament.
