Sohn Tells Grads Federalists Will Aim at Legislation

Louis B. Sohn, LL.M. '40. lecturer on Law, said last night that the United World Federalists would work during the coming year for Congressional legislation committing the United States to participation in world government "as soon as possible."

Sohn, speaking before an informal graduate student group in the Peabody Room of Phillips Brooks House, also disclosed that the UWF would strive to interest state legislatures in its aims to bring about a national convention. Such a convention would amend the Constitution to make it compatible with the concepts of world government.

The speaker advocated a limited World Federalism, which would have the main aim of preserving peace through disarmament, an international police force, and control of atomic energy.

The Harvard World Chapter called the meeting to form a nucleus of graduate students interested in federalism.
