cooperate is to be made effective;
that mutual counsel among the ma

about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and

Finally, that there must be some
means of defining, recording, inter

nations.
The Jury of Award unanimously
selected the plan given below as
the one which most closely reflected
several of these currents.
The Honorable Elihu Root, chair
man of the Jury of Award, then
prepared the following forward-look-
ing statement indicating that the
mutual counsel and cooperation
among the nations provided in the
selected plan may lead to the reali-

'It is the unanimous hope of the
NJury that the first fruit of the
mutual counsel and cooperation
among the nations which will result
from the adoption of the plan selec-

the manufacture and sale of all
materials of war"
The purpose of the American Peace
Award is thus fulfilled: To reflect
in practicable plan the dominating
national sentiment as expressed by
the large cross-section of the Ameri-
can public taking part in the Award.
I therefore commend the winning
plan as unanimously selected by the
