THE LEAGUE’S FUTURE
SIR ERIC DRUMMOND’S VIEWS “Will there be an extension of the activities of the League in the immediate future? That is a question which only that future can answer,” writes Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary-General of the League of Nations, in the London “Observer.” “The League is a living and growing society of nations, and, measured by the span of life, state or federal or imperial constitutions, has hardly begun. It is reasonably to be expected that the League will one day include all the nations of the world. The States members of the League have again and again expressed their desire to see the League fulfil the hopes of its founders by becoming universal. The tendency has been for increasing co-opera-tion on matters of common concern between the League and States nonmembers. The terms of this cooperation, and whether or not it eventually involves or implies a formal entry into or association with the League on the part of the States not members, are a matter for the Governments concerned to decide if and when they feel the need for any such decision.”
