Summary
[edit]DescriptionPeace Conference Press Cuttings (11969074303).jpg |
On 25 January 1919, the League of Nations was formed during the Paris Peace Conference. A product of the revulsion of war and earlier discussions on international arbitration, the League's principal mission was to maintain world peace through collective security and disarmament. Despite a number of notable successes from 1920, the League ultimately proved incapable of preventing aggression, and was suspended following its failure to prevent the Second World War. It was replaced by the United Nations in late 1945. Representing New Zealand at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 was Premier William Massey, who took an indifferent, almost hostile view of the League. Although he did not want to discourage the idea, Massey believed military preparedness and a strong British Empire was a better guarantor of peace. Impatient to discuss the economic cost of the war and New Zealand's interests in Western Samoa, Massey wrote to MP David Guthrie that "it would have been better had the Conference began with the discussion of the actual peace terms rather than to take up so much time with such matters as the League of Nations." The record above is one of sixteen bound volumes of press cuttings on the Peace Conference. Dating from December 1918 to October 1921, these large volumes were collected by the High Commissioner in London, and form an excellent day-by-day source of information on both the Conference and the League of Nations.
