He was speaking of the organization of the United Nations. and he said the idea of sovereignty should be done away with and that nationalism should be done away with. and that the peoples of the world should forget about sovereignty . and nationalism. As I have said. I have never been a high protectionist. but I do say that if we are to have a world government. and are to give that government the power to tear down tariff barriers completely. to abrogate our immigration laws. to divide up the wealth of 130.000.000 people among the 2.000.000.000 throughout the world. we will not be helping the other countries. but we will be tearing. down the only great democratic Republic that now exists. and which has existed for more than 150 years. When the American people come to understand the philosophy that is back of the position taken by some of these idealists. I venture to say public opinion will not follow them.
