*"Another world war will teach the so-called '''sovereign''' nations to form some sort of federation, thus creating the machinery for preventing small wars, wars between the lesser nations. But global wars will go on until the '''government of mankind''' is created. '''Global sovereignty''' will prevent global wars -- nothing else can.

*"The American states live together in peace. There are among the citizens of these states all of the various nationalities and races that live in the ever-warring nations of Europe. These Americans represent almost all the religions and religious sects and cults of the whole wide world, and yet here in North America they live together in peace. And all this is made possible because these states have surrendered their '''sovereignty''' and have abandoned all notions of the supposed rights of self-determination.

*“It is not a question of armaments or disarmament. Neither does the question of conscription or voluntary military service enter into these problems of maintaining worldwide peace. If you take every form of modern mechanical armaments and all types of explosives away from strong nations, they will fight with fists, stones, and clubs as long as they cling to their delusions of the divine right of '''national sovereignty'''.

*"'''The individual will enjoy far more liberty under world government'''. Today, the citizens of the great powers are taxed, regulated, and controlled almost oppressively, and much of this present interference with individual liberties will vanish when the national governments are willing to trustee their '''sovereignty''' as regards international affairs into the hands of '''global government'''.

*"Under '''global government''' the national groups will be afforded a real opportunity to realize and enjoy the personal liberties of genuine democracy. The fallacy of self-determination will be ended. With global regulation of money and trade will come the new era of worldwide '''peace'''. Soon may a global language evolve, and there will be at least some hope of sometime having a global religion -- or religions with a global viewpoint.
