Summary/Abstract: Published 1923 in Copenhagen by Rask-Ørsted Fund. In 1921 the administrative committee of the Rask-Ørsted Fund decided to publish a scientific work on the League of Nations, due to the collaboration of authors from different countries. The purpose of this work was to give an account of the origins of the League of Nations, its activity and the divergent opinions which arose in the different countries belonging or not to the League of Nations, on the subject of its importance and its importance. character. The idea of such a work met with the greatest interest among the personalities who participated in the creation of the League of Nations, or who later took part in its work. Representatives of allied and associated states, defeated states and neutral states met here in common work, all inspired by the same desire to contribute to the creation of an international organization based on the principles of peace and justice.

- Summary/Abstract:We should not imagine that the «Hôtel Crillon Commission» approached the problem ex abrupto, that it found itself in front of a blank slate and in a position to construct from scratch the international constitution of the League of Nations. The Crillon Commission mainly had an implementation role. The fundamental design of the new institution, the essential elements of its organization were definitively decided before it set to work. However, his role was not without importance. It had to resolve serious difficulties with regard to the drafting of the texts, and the discussion of certain implementing provisions threatened on several occasions to overthrow the entire edifice.

- Summary/Abstract:The draft Covenant of the League of Nations published on February 14, 1919 was drawn up, without the neutral States having had the opportunity to give their opinion. It must also be said that the project did not satisfy the desires of neutral States. Everywhere in these States, a society open to all States was wanted, including the defeated States, and greater equality between the Member States of the Society would have been desired, a less preponderant position for the great powers. Nevertheless, in all the neutral countries of Europe the opinion prevailed that one should join the Society, if one was invited to do so. The League was considered as a first basis of an international organization founded on the principles of law and justice, and it was hoped that neutral States could contribute in the future to the happy evolution of the League.

- Summary/Abstract:Though the League of Nations came to the people of England eventually as a new idea, the movement had roots in this country long before the War. There were various religious sects, especially the Society of Friends & the Plymouth Brethren, which regarded all war as a crime. There were the ordinary pacific tendencies in the parties of the left, well known in other European countries, which had of late drawn new inspiration from the writings of Tolstoy. Above all, there was the great peace-tradition connected with the names of Cobden and Bright, which formed the idealistic side of the Free Trade movement and the economics of the Manchester School. Free Trade in England has never been simply an economic doctrine. It is held by its votaries as a kind of ethical ideal, an emblem and instrument of that fair dealing between all nations and all parts of humanity which is an essential condition of human brotherhood.

- Summary/Abstract:We can only understand the state of public opinion in France, in relation to the League of Nations, if we go back in time at least to the Revolution of 1789 and the movement of ideas from which she is out. I will therefore first speak briefly about French opinion in the past and then, with as much precision as possible, about French opinion in the present, that is to say since the end of the last war.

- Summary/Abstract:It is at times difficult to understand to what extent the attitude of the people of the United States regarding participation in world affairs has been influenced by the so-called “Traditions of the Fathers”, and particularly by the advice of Washington “ to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” These traditions have become deeply embedded in the American consciousness. However, with the lapse of time and change in conditions, their origin and spirit have often been overlooked and they have been given a meaning which the “Fathers” never intended to convey.

- Summary/Abstract:Immediately after the Armistice President Wilson let it be known that he intended to go to Europe to represent the United States at the Peace Conference. This momentous decision constituted a breach of American constitutional practice, which had hitherto prevented the Presidents from leaving the country during their term of office; it was taken against the advice of the Secretary of State, Mr. Robert Lansing, and it did not fail to evoke a great deal of critical comment in the Press. So much so, that when opening the new Session of Congress on December 2nd, the President felt called upon to defend his decision: “I realize the great inconveniences that will attend my leaving the country, particularly at this time, but the conclusion that it was my paramount duty to go? has been forced upon me by considerations which I hope will seem as conclusive to others, as they have seemed to me”.

- Summary/Abstract:From an international point of view, the entry of Switzerland into the League of Nations presented for the politics of the day, and will continue to present for history, a very particular interest. This interest is completely disproportionate to the size of the Swiss Confederation which, if it is by far the oldest of the republics of contemporary Europe, is at the same time one of the smallest. It is also disproportionate to the almost negligible part taken by Switzerland in the constitution of the League of Nations and to the real but necessarily limited influence that it can claim to exercise on its destiny. This interest is due to various circumstances that it seems useful to recall at the beginning of this study. While justifying its conception, in fact, they will at the same time serve to explain the complexity of the problem that we must examine and the difficulty of the task that the Swiss Government assumed in submitting the Pact of Versailles to popular judgment.

- Summary/Abstract:It is enough to consider that, for more than a hundred years, Sweden has not taken up arms, to realize that the previous centuries of its history have made war odious and taught it to see ever more clearly in peace the only assured foundation of progress and national prosperity. In this regard, it can be said without exaggeration that in this country public opinion is almost unanimous. Sweden therefore provided a particularly favorable terrain for pacifist ideas which, during the decades preceding the Great War, spread with increasing force throughout the civilized world. Therefore, it‘s surprising that the Swedish left parties believed they could claim for themselves the exclusive monopoly of attachment to these ideas and represent the entire right, if not as the party of war, at least as indifferent. to the peaceful solution, through agreements or arbitration, of international disputes. There is reason to believe, it is true, that they would agree today to recognize that the differences existing between them and their adversaries related, in reality, not to the very idea of peace, but to the conditions for maintaining of national independence and sovereignty.

- Summary/Abstract:Germany turned to the idea of the League of Nations relatively late. Its attitude in the pre-war period, particularly at the Hague Peace Conferences, is too well known. that it requires some form of representation in this context. It can be said that, by and large, the government and the ruling classes were united in their reluctance to embrace pacifism. The outbreak of war, serious as its consequences were, did not change that. When the German Chancellor declared on November 9, 1916 that Germany was ready to lead a League of Nations, it was a grand gesture, not a confession from his innermost soul. The Canossa walk of the majority of the German people in this regard - sad as this confession is - only took place on the day when the German front began to waver before the onslaught of the enemy. Only then did people turn to the idea of law as the last resort. The Erzberger League of Nations draft and the League of Nations draft of the German Society for International Law were created, and the once ridiculed ideas of the League of Nations found greater recognition in the press for the first time.
