League of Nations inauguration

TODAY at Geneva one of the most historic and important gatherings of representatives of Great Powers in the history of the world will be inaugurated. The object is to constitute the Assembly of the League of Nations. It is well to remember that the League has not yet been fully constituted, beyond the establishment of the Secretariat and certain meetings of the Council. The Assembly will be the paramount arm — indeed, the

League’s existence is illusory until it is established. So far, then, the League of Nations is little more than an idea, but

the inspiration of that idea has stimulated some of the biggest minds of the century. It is undeniable, however, that the full triumph of the ideal of the League of Nations will mean great and fundamental changes in world politics.
