Urges World
Government
Stresses Role of
Clerical Leaders
Any religious leader who doesn't
work for world government is liv-
ing in a fool's paradise, Arthur
Schilpp, philosophy professor at
Northwestern University and
Methodist minister, declared in a
speech here Sunday.
Schilpp, who spoke before the
United World Federalists to open
World Government Week, claim-
ed that many religious leaders
have failed to inspire their con-
gregations to dedicate themselves
to what he termed "the highest,
noblest, sublimest and best life"
possible.
IN CALLING for world govern-
ment, Schlipp said "it's now two
minutes before midnight on the
clock of humanity, and most sci-
entists have confirmed the fact
that we pons man has now de-
veloped could, in the event of a
third world war, destroy the whole
human race."
The peoples of the world want
peace desperately, said Schilpp,
who returned January 11 from
a five months' tour of Europe,
on which he made many speech-
es urging world government.
Schlipp said he didn't know
what chance there was for the
establishment of a world gov-
ernment before a world war could
break out, but "if there's only one
chance in a hundred million, it's
worth working for. It's our only
chance."

QUOTING the German philoso-
pher Kant, Schilpp said there
could be no peace in the world as
long as one nation claimed sov-
reignty.
Professors of international
law are earning their living un-
der false pretenses, the philoso-
phy professor charged, because
"there is no such animal."
Schilpp claimed the UN can
never develop into a world gov-
ernment because, as its preamble
asserts, it is a gathering of sov-
ereign states.
HE SAID the UN is now merely
a world debating society, but as
such serves a useful function.. He
praised UNESCO as "doing one of
the most magnificent jobs in his-
tory," and said the side agencies
are perhaps more important than
"the main tent."
In answer to a question Schilpp
said he didn't think Russia would
join a world government imme-
diately but would join out of ne-
cessity if the rest of the world
formed one first.

As a guide to future action the
council decided to take this poll
of the 3200 graduates on campus
and the 800 faculty members of
the Graduate School.
A committee of two council
members, Norman Snyder and
Melvin Marcus consulting with
the Survey Research Center, drew
up two questionnaires, one for
faculty and one for students.
The main question on these
ballots is, "Do you feel there

Graduate School ruling, or do you
feel that the choice and number
of languages for students should
be left to the discretion of the in-!
dividual departments, according -
to the needs of their studies?"
Graduate students should re-
port to their department offices3
or Rackham to pick up the ques-
tionnaires.
