NATIONAL SOCIETY
WOULD INSURE
LASTING PEACE
Rased on Recommendations of
Rights of Large and Small
Nations

Paris. Nov. "A lasting information
al peace can be made possible only by
the foundation of society OF nations
whose guiding principle shall be the
settlement of differences by law and
not by force, declares resolution
adopted by the Congress Of the League
Of Rights Of Man, in session here. The
resolution, framed and approved after
ngthy discussion says:
'"This society shall be based upon
the recommendation of the right of
nations, great and small to independ-
ence, upon the institution of compul-
sorry applicable to all international
conflicts without exception and re-
serve and upon the organization of in
formation forces capable of depressing
by appropriate penalties, all attempts
at revolt or aggression.
TO ensure lasting peace in the flu
ture the treaty must not contain
germs Of war or revenge. 1t shall con-
secrate the right of peoples to dis
pose Of their own destinies and shall
not provide for the dismemberment of
states or annexations of territory
against the will of the population.
'On the contrary it shall annul an
nexations imposed by force such as that
Of Alsace-Lorraine.
1t shall create an economic regime
under which certain temporary meas
ures applied as penalties shall guar
antee to each people exercise of it's
legitimate activities without permit
ting the existence Of any aggressive
organization for economic conquest.
Justice requires that the future
peace treaty shall provide penalties
against the responsible authors of war
and punishment to those who wage
war in defiance of the law of nations:
that states who are aggressors shall
make reparation proportionate to the
enormous damage done; and finally a
system of guarantees. which without
infringing the principles announced
above. and notably without having re-
course to forcible annexation, shall
safeguard the world against further ag-
gression."
Finally the Congress. taking note of
OcSidi dtlouS IIldue ny entente SldtoS-
men, expresses hope that to give the
world an earnest Of their designs, the
allied government will decide to sub
NIT all their eventual conflicts to arbi-
tration and form federation among
themselves as the first outline of a flu
ture society of nations. welcoming the
adhesion thereto Of all states, small and
