Nations eyed for lasting peace through a League plan
J Randolph Coolidge Jr. urged a League of Nations based on proportional power, with votes assigned by population, resources, organization, literacy, and democracy. He cited U S as 46 votes, Britain 45, France 34, Germany 32, Switzerland 29, and China 12, and argued the model echoes the American union and could enforce mediation in crises like Palestine Syria. He criticized Senator Lodge on delaying peace until a League is formed.
