The statement follows: | “The League to Enforce Peace is a non-partisan organization founded to secure an association of nations to minimize war. Soth parties have confirmed the necessity and given assurance of the formation of such an association. It is not our function to cast our influence on the side 'of any political party. “The committee has accurate information as to the functioning of the existing league of nations, which it is proper for it to state. “The league of nations has formed its council and has called Its assembly together to meet In November. i “It has established successful administrative commissions in the Saar valley and at Dauzlg. 1 “It has begun, through a committee of experts, a survey of armaments to the end that plans shall be devised for the gradual reduction. “It has brought together conferences to consider the economic, financial and labor problems which perplex the world. Secret Diplomacy “It has made arrangements for the registration and publication of all treaties to avoid secret diplomacy. “It has taken up the task of arbitrating the dispute between Sweden and Finland concerning the possession of Aland Islands to avoid the threatened war between those countries. “It has, acting in accord with one of its articles, formulated through its advisory committee of jurists, of which the Honorable Elihu Root was a leading member, a plan for a permanent court of international justice, which the committee has recommended should be given ultimate mandatory jurisdiction In justiciable questions. “The league has not functioned in the present war between Poland .and Russia because, being an unfinished part of the great war, it has not been taken out of the hands of the supreme council of the allied powers.

League as Foundation “In view of these facts this committee reaffirms its position that the only practicable method of framing and securing an association to minimize war by either party which may come into office, lies In build-ing-upon the foundation of the existing league of nations, with such reservatlontf and amendments. If any, as may be required and approved by the president and two-thirds of the senate and as may be acceptable to the present members of the league of nations.” Members of the executive committee who attended the meeting and approved the statement are: Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, William F.
