Its most conspicuous work was the] establishment of an International Court of Justice, but the League would not achieve any real progren till all the nations were repre- seated. He believed that Germany desired to carry out the Treaty obligations and there would be no obstacle to her admission if she made the desire quite manifest. He hoped America would join. This was essential because disarmament was impossible until all nations were in the League. He congratulated the representatives of the Empire upon their prominent part at the first Assembly.
