Of NATIONS
PLAN NOT POSSIBLE
WITHOUT AMERICA
Viscount Grey Also Declares
United States Must Not
Return to Pre-War Status
of Isolation

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Viscount Grey,
former secretary of state for foreign
affairs, has written, at the request
of the research committee of the
League of Nations union, an intro
ductory note to a pamphlet entitled
1.-THE Peace Conference and After"
After urging the great opportunity
Afforded by the peace conference Tor
taking a practical step in the direc-
tior of forming a league of nations.
Fiscount Grey says:
'It is not necessary for the peace
conference to create a league OF ma
tions. The conference viii in itself
be a vital beginning of such league.
All that is absolutely necessary is
that it should not commit suicide,
but keep itself alive by adjourninS
and leaving q permanent organiza-
ton instead of dissolvinS itself and
destroying its machinery.
Two more points L would espS-
cially commend to careful and sym
pathetic attention. One Is the posi-
billty of applying the principle of
trusteeship TO thost vast tracts,
especially Africa, where no indie
pendent national government of the
native inhabitants can De formed.
The other is emphasis on the earnest
dvocacy of the part to be taken by
the Unit.d States in helping to give
effect to this principle of truSteeShip
and in the council of the world.
Without the United States any coun-
Gil or league of nations will soon
be- little better than the old concert
of Europe, which was spoiled in
variably by intrigues within it and
split into opposing groups.
1T has required the united efforts
of the allies and the United States
to win the war of right against
wrong and to make peace. 1t win
need the united and continuous, al
though peaceful action of all of them
to maintain peace.
cit would be as fatal to the fu-
ture of the world for the United
States to. relapse into the old idea
of strict isolation, as it would be
for any power to revive the German
policy of separate conquest and DOM
ination. 1t is, l believe. in this spirit
and for this purpose that the peo-
pie of this country desire close and
cordial relations with the United
States. We think the people of the
United States are conscious of the
great and beneficent influence they
exercised on the history of ire world
by the part they took in this war.
We cannot believe that they will
let this influence abate or die"
