     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.
