"Democrats cannot ... quarrel with Soviet Russia or any other
nation because of its economic collectivism, for democracy itself
introduced the idea of collective machinery into politics. It is a
profound mistake to identify democracy and Union necessarily or
entirely with either capitalist or socialist society, with either
the method of individual or collective enterprise. There is room
for both of these methods in democracy....

"Democracy not only allows mankind to choose freely between
capitalism and collectivism, but it includes marxist governments,
parties and press...."

When the year 1941 ended, America was in World War II; and all American
advocates of world-peace-through-world-law-and-world-government
jubilantly struck while the iron was hot--using the hysteria and
confusion of the early days of our involvement in the great catastrophe
as a means of pushing us into one or another of the schemes for union
with other nations.

Clarence Streit states it this way, in his most recent book (_Freedom's
Frontier Atlantic Union Now_, 1961):

"Japan Pearl Harbored us into the war we had sought to avoid by
disunion.... Now, we Americans had the white heat of war to help
leaders form the nuclear Atlantic Union."

On January 5, 1942 (when we had been at war less than a month), Clarence
Streit's Federal Union, Inc., bought advertising space in major
newspapers for a petition urging Congress to adopt a joint resolution
favoring immediate union of the United States with several specified
foreign nations. Such people as Harold L. Ickes (Roosevelt cabinet
officer), Owen J. Roberts (Supreme Court Justice), and John Foster
Dulles (later Eisenhower's Secretary of State) signed this newspaper ad
petitioning Congress to drag America into world government. In fact,
these notables (especially John Foster Dulles) had actually written the
Joint Resolution which Federal Union wanted Congress to adopt.

The world government resolution (urged upon Congress in January, 1942)
provided among other things that in the federal union of nations to be
formed, the "union" government would have the right: (1) to impose a
common citizenship; (2) to tax citizens directly; (3) to make and
enforce all laws; (4) to coin and borrow money; (5) to have a monopoly
on all armed forces; and (6) to _admit new members_.
