members and by a najority vote the power to propose, at
least, some measures aiming at the maintenance of peace
and at rendering effective the principles agreed upon as
the basis of the organization. This formula, included
in the Covenant of the League of Nations, would permit
all States to give expression to their wills and thoughts,
subject to the criterion inherent in the majority of the
General Assembly. This allotment of powers seems more
advisable as far as the sanctions allowed are concerned.
And let it be noted that the organism is thereby strength- -
ened since all its component parts, which would otherwise
lose interest ii its functioning, would thus be able to
act. Chapter V.
4. Concerning the establishment of the Security Council,
it might be suggested that it would be expodient to grant to
the States of the Americas another seat besides the one
assigned to the United States. They reprosent indeed a
group of nations that have maintained a resolute stand in
favor of the standards of International justice; and one
of them, Brazil, is already playing its full part on the
battle-fields, in addition to co-operuting in the task of
supplying raw materials and foodstuffs. In recognition of
its share in detormining the outcome of the war, and on
account of its vast territories and huge population, its
political importance and its culturo, this part of the
continent constitutes a valuable asset to the new Organi-
zation and might be able to contributo, to its deliberations
and decisions, elements of the spirit which are not to be
minimized. It is thereforo suggosted that a permanent seat
in the Council be assigned to one of the Amorican Republics,
in addition to the United States, Chapter VI.
5. Concerning the Court of Justice, the proposals
follow the pattern of the League of Nations and morit
approval. One might, however, consider the possibility
that not only mattors of a juridical nature, but all
matters, even those of a political nature, which might
affect general security and peaco would foll within its
jurisdiction; and one might also consider ostablishing
regional courts in addition to the central Court, in
order to facili ato access to judicial procedures.
Chapter VII.
6. For the penceful settling of disputes, the Pro- -
posals lead to the propor results. But it would be pre- -
ferable to establish that the Security Council may demand
of the parties to a dispute, and not moroly call upon them
to do it, that they settle their differences by peaceful
means; and this would strengthen the Council's interventions
in favor of peaco. Paragraph 4, Soction A, Chaptor VIII.
