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. UWF Names New Advisors Gov. G. Mennen Williams is among the notables serving on the new United World Federalists' Na- tional Advisory Board. The Advisory Board list, recent- ly received by the local UWF chapter from national headquar- ters, also includes Minnesota Gov. Luther Youngdahl, Democratic National Committee member James Roosevelt, Supreme Court Justice Williom O. Douglas, and Lewis Mumford, author. The roster of prominent names continues with atomic scientist Harold C. Urey, physicist Albert Einstein, and Book of the Month Club President Harry Sherman. The board will serve in an ad- visory capacity to the world wide organization comprising 269 col- lege and university chapters. The UWF is devoted to the achieve- ment of world government. 331 .v 1 -off-ft - Cr 'UI IE NEWS 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 should be a general language re- quirement for all Ph.D. students. determined as it is now by a 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?"
