not rivals, but friends, working>in CO.
ordinated endeavor towards the same
goal-Peace.
8. The League Of Nations is the
greatest experiment ever tried upon
the earth: In it's success lies the fu-
ture hope of humanity. It can only
succeed If it be real League of Peo-
pies. not merely a League Of Govern
ments. To this end it. is necessary
that every individual shall take an in
structed and active interest, till he
can say, "This is my League, through
which bring my influence to bear on
international politics to insure peace
and to prevent war" It can only sue
coed If all sections Of public opinion
are firmly united behind it in the de-
termination that it shall succeed.
9. The object Of the League of Ma
tons is thus to instruct and unite all
sections of : public: opinion, both
amongst manual labor and brain
workers; and also to serve as a ma
tional channel for putting forward
such amendments as time may prove
necessary in the League Of Nations

ton of our civilization and the pro-
gress Of humanity.
