CHAPTER 5
Attacks on National Sovereignty
However, while many of the passages we have cited are straightforward appeals for world government,
the CFR Insiders and their one-world propagandists more frequently resort to the oblique approach of
advancing "world order" through attacks on national sovereignty. Since a one-world government is
impossible as long as nations retain their sovereign powers to conduct their own affairs as they see fit, it
makes sense for the globalists to undermine the whole concept of national sovereignty. Over a period of
time, the peoples of the world might be convinced gradually to surrender aspects of national sovereignty
to international institutions until, ultimately, world government is an established fact.
This internationalist theme was delivered to the Foreign Affairs reading audience 70 years ago in the
CFR journal’s second issue. "Obviously there is going to be no peace or prosperity for mankind," the
December 1922 Foreign Affairs claimed, "so long as it remains divided into fifty or sixty independent
states."30
The problem for the CFR was overcoming the American people’s "sovereignty fetish." The Council
pondered this difficulty in its 1944 publication entitled American Public Opinion and Postwar Security
Commitments. Therein we find:
The sovereignty fetish is still so strong in the public mind, that there would appear to be
little chance of winning popular assent to American membership in anything approaching
a super-state organization. Much will depend on the kind of approach which is used in
further popular education.31
The gradualist approach, as outlined for instance in The International Problem of Governing Mankind,
by Columbia University professor and later World Court justice Philip C. Jessup (CFR), was the strategy
most often adopted by the Insider internationalists. "I agree that national sovereignty is the root of the
evil," Jessup wrote in his 1947 book. But, he noted: "The question of procedure remains. Can the root be
pulled up by one mighty revolutionary heave, or should it first be loosened by digging around it and
cutting the rootlets one by one"32 Like most of his elitist confreres, he opted for the piecemeal
approach.
Archetypal CFR Insider and former FDR Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau recognized the
need for the step-by-step approach: "We can hardly expect the nation-state to make itself superfluous, at
least not overnight. Rather what we must aim for is recognition in the minds of all responsible statesmen
that they are really nothing more than caretakers of a bankrupt international machine which will have to
be transformed slowly into a new one. The transition will not be dramatic, but a gradual one. People will
still cling to national symbols."33
Years later, in 1975, former Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon, an ardent CFR globalist and
honorary chairman of the Institute for World Order, admitted that it would still "take a while before
people in this country as a whole will be ready for any substantial giving-up of sovereignty to handle
