NATIONS' OBJECTIVE
"It might not be a vain idea if statesmen were- to set before the people a series of limited objectives to be in ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred years," says the Aberdeen Press and Journal.
" These objectives could not be reached with absolute accuracy, because so long as man remains inquisitive and questing he will make unexpected discoveries, and so long as he is healthy he will be ambitious and therefore not very amenable to the suggestions of committees even of the wisest and most respected of his contemporaries. But the League of Nations, despite the qualifications implicit in these accidents and human frafltjfis, might do a great deal worse than appoint an internationl panel of the world's most distinguished and most humane thinkers to draft ideas of development which they deemed possible of realisation within a given number of years if every nation strove to that end."
