The only possible pathway to inter-
national agreement with reference TO
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. II is therefore the
unanimous opinion Of the Jury that
OF the 22,1s5 plans submitted. Plan
Number 1863 is "the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world"
u 10 the unanimous hope OF the Jury
that the first fruit OF the mutual eoun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Of
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition Of the manufacture and

Inese plans come from every group
In American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students OF history and
international law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little. but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror OF war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom.
inant currents: that, II war is hon
estly to be prevented. there must be
q face-about on the part Of the nations
In their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man.
ufacture and purchase of the NUM-
lions OF war must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone viii insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery Of cooperation IL the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive: that mutual counsel among the
nations Is the real hope for bringing
about the d!savowal OF war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion OF them; and finally
that there must be some means OF
defining, recording. interpreting and
developing the law of nations
