The International Labor Organization of the League of Nations is the only world-wide international economic institution which has functioned actively and continuously during the whole of the post-war period. In estimating the economic significance of this organization to the United States it is to be recognized that there are definite reasons why--at least from the theoretical point of view--the regulation of industry and labor brought about by international action will have increasing importance to American workers and employers. The significance of the work of this organization is to be found not only in those results which are direct and immediate but more so in the consequences that are indirect and of the future. Of the latter the most important is probably that the International Labor Organization is a step in the evolution of an "international economic community," the need for which the failure of the several post-war international economic conferences fully demonstrates. The International Labor Organization possesses features to make international collaboration possible and effective. In this respect it is an achievement and a promise. Seller Inventory # 000543
