Excerpt from League of Nations: An Alliance? Or a Nation of Nations? The Pioneer plan for a league of nations to be organized at the end of the world war, so as to make another such war impossible or improbable, was fully prepared on August 10, 1914, ten days after the great world war began. That plan is described herein in detail and contrasted with other plans. It was mailed to President Wilson August 18, 1914. It was referred by the White House to the Department of State, according to the letter of the Secretary of State to the author, dated September 17, 1914. In October, 1914, it was made public. The volume Nation of Nations, elaborating the plan with a tentative draft of a Supreme Constitution for the suggested international government and police power, was published just after June 17, 1915, when the League to Enforce Peace was organized at Philadelphia to promote a league of nations of an entirely different character, a world treaty alliance, as herein shown. Both plans are described and contrasted in that book, and in this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
