He was appointed director of the mid-West office of the League of Nations Association in 1928 and became director of the national organization in 1934.

He was associated with or helped to establish several other U.S. and international peace and world government organizations. Eichelberger also served as consultant to the League of Nations Secretariat, the U.S. delegation to the San Francisco Conference in 1945, and was a member of the committee which created the first draft of the charter of the United Nations.
