It was published as a leaflet signed by Gustav Vogt, the President of the Bureau and Editor-in-Chief of the League's press organ, Les États-Unis d'Europe. The address called on the League 'to become a pure political expression of great economic and social interests and principles which are now developed and spread so triumphantly by the great International Working Men's Association of Europe and America' (see also K. Marx, F. Engels, The Alliance of Socialist Democracy and the International Working Men's Association, present edition, Vol. 23.).
