The right to move about within the area covered by the sovereigns protection was inherent in the reciprocal obligation of allegiance and protection. What does that mean when applied to the proposed world state? It means. for one thing. the end of immigration restrictions in the United States. If it does not mean that. then there is no good to be served in talking about the world state. for a state in which the obligation to protect was compartmentalized would be a state without a universal claim upon allegiance. and therefore no state at all. Now it may be that the American people are ready to knock down the immigration bars and invite the whole world in. It may be that they are ready to yield control over such things to a working majority of a mythical world legislature. Nothing in the hearings before the Committee on Foreign Affairs indicates this. however. and in the absence of clear proof. it would be presumptuous of the Congress to issue a declaration indicating any such willingness.
