Lord Bryce, one of the earliest advocates for a League of Nations
The League to Enforce Peace published this full-page promotion in The New York Times on Christmas Day 1918.[17] It resolved that the League "should ensure peace by eliminating causes of dissension, by deciding controversies by peaceable means, and by uniting the potential force of all the members as a standing menace against any nation that seeks to upset the peace of the world".[17]
On his December 1918 trip to Europe, Woodrow Wilson gave speeches that "reaffirmed that the making of peace and the creation of a League of Nations must be accomplished as one single objective".[18]
