Although the U.S. never ratified the entry into the League of Nations, it laid a plan that set forth the eventual United Nations in 1942. The goal of the UN is exact to that of the League: to promote and enforce world peace when conflicts arise. The U.S. did ratify the entry into the UN, and it includes many more nations than the League ever did. It is still prevalent today, especially in the Middle East and all of the conflicts there. So, Wilson's plan for a League of Nations did pay off, although he never lived to see it work out.
The new Federal Reserve System was a basic set up of the modern Federal Reserve System. Wilson's regions are still used today, and still stabilize the national bank today, and keeps everything in check within each region. The federal government still has the power to issue Federal Reserve Notes, which was set up by the Wilson administration. The banks are still chartered within each region as well.
