THIS Conference, composed of 11 International and National Organizations, representing twenty million men and women, and organized by the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, declares that the present terrible state of Europe, and its — reactions ON the rest of the world are the result, not only of the orld War, but also in very large measure of the existing Peace baties, ; These Treaties are contrary to the Armistice Terms (eg. President Wilson's fourteen points). They are inconsistent with the spirit of the League of Nations as expressed in the Preamble of the Covenant, and do, in fact, “endanger the peace of the world” (Article 19 of the Covenant). They have proved disastrous alike from the political, economic, military, and psychical aspects. They have: (a) Prevented economic reconstruction On a basis of inter- national co-operation 'and the satisfaction of inter- national interests, by treating this matter as one to be ’ settled by those nations alone which achieved military predominance in the World War. (6) Recognized and created animosities and suspicions which make disarmament by land, sea, and air increasingly @ difficult, and the abolition of chemical and bacterio- logical warfare practically impossible. (c) Retarded the establishment of a League of Nations uni- versal, democratic, and fully effective. Therefore . , a This Conference demands A NEW PEACE based on New International Agreements, and its members resolve to work unremittingly by every means in their power to bring about the convening of A WORLD CONGRESS through the instru- mentality of the League of Nations, of a single nation, or a group of nations, in order to achieve A-NEW PEACE. ! i 4 ' en This Conference, called by the International League for Peace ‘and Freedom, representing twenty million men and women, meeting at The Flague, urges the Allied Prime Ministers meeting in London on December gth to come to such an agreement on the question of reparations as shall, by restoring confidence, lead to the stabilization of the exchanges, the recovery of International Trade, and the revival of International confidence. - . This Conference recognizes that ‘every regional agreement helps on universal disarmament, and ‘congratulates the nations (Russia, Finland, Poland, Esthonia, Lithuania, and Livonia) which, at the Conference in Moscow, have initiated a movement for progressive disarmament. ue Proposals for Action.
