For both these purposes some international machinery
will be recuired.
Since the 20th Assembly of the League of Nations has
determined upon a separation of the economic and social
activities of the League from its political functions, it
is possible that the new Central Committee of the League
on Economic and Social questions, together with the Inter-
national Labour Office, should be utilized. This would
provide a trained international personnel which could carry
out the secretarial duties required if the proposal for
early inter-governmental-discussions should take effect.
The question of whether if, at the Peace settlement,
the League is divorced from its politics functions and be-
comes wholly concerned with economic and social ques-
tions, it would, together with the International Labour
Office be found the suitable body to become the World
Organization envisaged in the previous paragraphs is a
question which can well be left until the Peace settlement
discussions actually take place.
In a world in which political responsibilities were carried
by Regional Councils it is possible that nations at present not
members of the League might find no difficulties in adhering to
the Geneva institutions.
