Abstract

The New Holy Alliance

This article presents the plan of the League of Nations formulated by the Paris Conference. According to this plan, the First World War sharpened the sense of necessity and set many minds at work in different countries to think out schemes for what it is agreed to call a League of Nations. So far as the League has any substance as an international authority, the entire power is vested in the foreign ministers of the five great powers. It is only natural that a League so conceived should emit tyranny and partiality wherever it moves. Every function assigned to it suffers a necessary degradation. Everywhere the functions of the League are to be administered by little group of war ministers, so as to continue their domination over Europe and to extend it even beyond the ultimate limits of the League.
