degenerate as international security increased.

Will you discuss this proposal with our friends by way of setting the
ball rolling? Of course I do not in the least insist on this particular
proposal. But I do think it essential that we should come forward with a
positive programme; a merely negative policy is unlikely to produce any
practical results.

Germany and France

Mutual trust and co-operation between France and Germany can come about
only if the French demand for security against military attack is satisfied.
But should France frame demands in accordance with this, such a step would
certainly be taken very ill in Germany.

A procedure something like the following seems, however, to be

French that they should jointly make representations to the League of

(2) To proceed with all its economic and military force, in concert
with the other members of the League, against any State which breaks the
peace or resists an international decision made in the interests of world
peace.

Systematic disarmament within a short period. This is possible only in
combination with the guarantee of all for the security of each separate
nation, based on a permanent court of arbitration independent of
governments.

Unconditional obligation of all countries not merely to accept the

Separate courts of arbitration for Europe with Africa, America, and
Asia (Australia to be apportioned to one of these). A joint court of
arbitration for questions involving issues that cannot be settled within the
limits of any one of these three regions.

At a sitting of the Academy during the War, at the time when national
and political infatuation had reached its height, Emil Fischer spoke the
following emphatic words: "It's no use, Gentlemen, science is and remains
international." The really great scientists have always known this and felt
