For the first time in history they were now seeking to get the co- operation of all concerned, namely, of States, employers, and workers, with a view to raising the standard of life everywhere. The committee had come to the conclusion that the best means of securing this was not by penalties but publicity, and in the agreement, therefore, they provided for public conferences of States, employers, and workers who would be armed with the fullest information. The fundamental idea of the proposed organisation was to be the collection and distribution of information with a view to stimula- ting a healthy public opinion. The organisation would work through out in harmony with the League of Nations.
