the General Estates, that is, by the corporate sharing of authority and power
between the Clergy, the Nobility, and the Commons in a Europe of Regions.
He wrote:
"What I signify by the term Commune in its scientific meaning, is
independent of false doctrines, of bad passions, of revolutionary instincts,
which are caused by political woes. London, Paris, Brussels, La Hague,
Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Saint-Petersburg, Athens, Vienna, Bern,
Rome, Madrid, Lisbon, are the great Communes, the Mother-Cities, the
great centers of civil life of European Civilization. It is those Capitals, which
must be associated in a European Council, the only means of linking them to
public peace and to have them take their true national and universal role…
"This association of the great Communes of Europe can and must
achieve the disarmament, the neutrality and the liberty of the Capitals. It is
only on that basis that the European Empire of Civilization can be erected…
"The Council of European Communes could be recruited as follows:
In each capital, counselors would be nominated by an assembly of
financiers, economists, industrialists, farmers, and by the chambers, either
unions or guilds from each nation. That nominated Council would gather,
during each session, in a different capital, beginning with London, the city of
free institutions par excellence. The object of deliberations and competence
of the European Common Council would embrace all of the following
questions, using the basis of existing treatises and international conventions,
relative to these questions: Currencies, Finances and Banking, Commerce,
Industry, Agriculture, Communications, Merchant Marine, Railroads, Postal
Service, Telegraph, Customs, Consulates, Colonization.
"This Council would be formed as a Jury and would have as Judges,
for each nation, the Ministers of Finance, of the Merchant Marine, and of the
Ministerial Departments including Industry, Commerce, Agriculture, Public
Works, Communications, Consulates and Colonies.
"The Presidency of the Council would be given to the sovereigns, or
heads of States, and the title of Emperor referee would be differed to the
head of State whose Capital it is the turn to seat the Council. The judgments
would become law only after having been examined by the other two
Councils, that is, the Council of States and the Council of Churches." (1)
