Published monthly, $2 a year, by The World's Court League, Inc., Educational Building, 2 West 13th Street, New York. Entered as second-class matter, July 31, 1915, at the post office at New York, N. Y., under THE WORLD'S COURT LEAGUE, INC. PLATFORM We believe it to be desirable that a League among Nations should be organized for the following purposes: 1. A World Court, in general similar to the Court of Arbitral Justice already agreed upon at the Second Hague Conference, should be, as soon as possible, established as an International Court of Justice, representing the Nations of the World and, subject to the limitations of treaties, empowered to assume jurisdiction over international questions in dispute that are justiciable in character and that are not settled by negotiation. 2. All other international controversies not settled by negotiation should be referred to the Permanent Court of Arbitration at the Hague, or submitted to an International Council of Conciliation, or Commissions of Inquiry, for hearing, consideration and recommendation. 3. Soon after peace is declared, there should be held either "a conference of all great Governments," as described in the United States Naval Appropriation Act of 1916, or a similar assembly, formally designated as the Third Hague Conference, and the sessions of such international conferences should become permanently periodic, at shorter intervals than formerly. Such conference or conferences should (a) formulate and adopt plans for the establishment of a World 4. In connection with the establishment of automatically periodic sessions of an International Conference, the constituent Governments should establish a Permanent Continuation Committee of the conference, with such administrative powers as may be delegated to it by the conference. THE WORLD'S COURT LEAGUE, INC. Educational Building, New York MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION I desire to become a member of The World's Court League and receive the WORLD COURT MAGAZINE for one year, for which I enclose Two Dollars. OFFICERS President of the League CHARLES LATHROP PACK President of the International Council President of the National Advisory Board Frank L. Babbott Nehemiah Boynton George W. Kirchwey Walter L. McCorkle W. B. Millar Secretary of the Board of Governors Charles Willard Young EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SAMUEL T. DUTTON, General Sec'y FREDERICK E. FARNSWORTH, Executive Sec'y FRANK CHAPIN BRAY, Editorial Sec'y CHARLES H. LEVERMORE, Corresponding Sec'y The officers of The World's Court League cordially invite you to join them in preparing the way for more just and harmonious international relations after the war. Forty-four nations have already voted for the Court of Justice which will be the chief corner-stone of a new world structure. While a League of Nations presupposes a better adjustment of international questions, the greatest assurance of security and durable peace rests in a World Court. The platform of the League is in harmony with the great work accomplished by the two Hague Conferences and with the treaties which have been made by the United States with thirty nations, providing for delay and inquiry in case of any international difficulty. To advance and concentrate public opinion the League publishes THE WORLD COURT MAGAZINE. A payment of two dollars makes you a member of The World's Court League and furnishes the magazine for one year. The League also desires contributions of from five to one thousand dollars for the support of this world-wide movement which is intended to make another war with its horrors and distress unlikely if not impossible.
