League of Nations seen as deterrent to future strife
George H. Smith of Detroit, ex executive secretary of Michigan’s International League of Nations society, argues that wars do not arise overnight and that irritations and prejudice can be detected and averted with League and World Court help. He compares the League to a federation with an assembly of 54 nations and a corporate style structure. He notes the World Court offers advisory and compulsory or voluntary decisions, and cites 40 nations already agreeing to compulsory jurisdiction.
