World Is Proposed
To Curb Aggressors


airfields throughout the world was
proposed today as an effective
means of stopping aggressors who
may attempt to start a military &C
ton in a postwar world.
The suggestion was made by DR..
Quincy Wright, professor of inter-
national law at the University of
Chicago, before the 18th annual
meeting of the American Society of
International Law at the Carlton
Hotel.
DR.. Wright pointed out weak
nesses and the experience of the
League of Nations in it's attempt to
enforce international law with "un-
organized sanctions"
Experts have worked out in de-
tail the spacing of internationalized
bases throughout the world and the
distribution among them of rela-
lively small volunteer international
air force to provide an effective
spearpoint for police action capable
OF immediate use by the inter-
national council at any point where
aggression might occur or be threat
ened," DR.. Wright said
Might Have Stopped Hitler.
1T is probable that an inter-
national air force could even have
been effective in stopping Hitler's
rearmament in 1885 and his Rhine
land invasion in 1886 before he had
developed effective ground or air
defenses himself"
At their opening meeting last
night, the jurists heard Manley O..
Hudson, a judge of the World Court,
explain in detail a plan for estab-
fishing the rule of law in the world
which was drawn up by a number
OF American and Canadian jurists
in a series of 80 conferences. It
enVisages an international organiza-
ton roughly analogous to the
League of Nations, but with much
broader powers.
The jurists last night were greeted
by Frederick r. Coudert, president
OF the organization, who spoke en-
couragingly of the prospects of post
war world organization. At the
same session, Judge John j. Parker
OF the United States Circuit Court
for the Fourth judicial district also
spoke on legal problems of future
society.
Yale Professor Speaks.
This morning Prof. Frederick S.
Dunn of Yale told the session that
the solution of controversies de-
ponds far more on the existence of
a Will to peace than on the resort
to procedure. He foresaw legal So
lutions possible to only limited
range of international disputes.
Judge Hudson, speaking on THE
International Law of the Future. !"
said that the plan drawn I'D by
the experts envisioned community
OF states which would be aware of
their duties" as we'll as their
rights" upon which states in the
Old League laid too much stress.
He emphasized that such an Or
ganization, to be effective, must have
a worldwide membership, including
all natlonS regardless OF political
theology, which would, naturally,
take in both the United States and
Russia.
General Assembly Proposed.
The future League would have a
general assembly in which all states
would have representation and
which would act by majority vote.
1t also would include an executive
council, meeting more frequently
and composed of representatives of
"a smaller number of states, which
could act only by unanimous vote.
Under the plan, the existing or
CARNATIONS of the World Court, the
Permanent Court of Arbitration at
The Hague, the International Labor
Organization, the Universal Postal
Union and the International Tele-
communication Union would con-
time to function
