But what of peace and post­ preserve the honor and integrity of our Country and demonstrate that the sacrifices of war reconstruction? Are we doing our full share here? our soldiers in fighting for these broad principles shall not have been in vain. Whether we like it or not we will be confronted with proposals to establish some STERLING F. MuTZ, sort of World Government as soon as we have won the war. Will it be built around the President-General. Atlantic Charter? Will we be asked to yield some of our sovereignty in order to set up a superior government, modeled after the plan of the League ~f Nations? . Or, will the future peace of the world be grounded upon a World Court With cooperatmg coun­ tries providing the necessary agency to enforce its mandates? Thoughts of these proposed "entangling alliances" are enough to make us gasp. But we must be realistic and not bury our heads in the sand. We cannot turn back the clock, as we did following the First World War and expect any permanent solution of the problems which have made this war possible. But must we h_ave a Wo_rld government which will require us to s~bmit to legisl~tive _en~ctm.ents ag_amst our w1~l? With the advent of World travel by a1rplane and w1de distnbutiOn of 1deas by radio, we may expect some obliteration of National lines, many new economic alliances and elimination of trade barriers, at least between countries having such a natural need . We cannot shut our eyes to this possibility. With the broad principles of the Atlantic Charter we find ourselves in substantial agreement. It may be necessary to yield some of our sovereignty to establish a sort An Invitation of World agency based upon that document.
