The document discusses the idea of establishing a one world government through strengthening the United Nations. It provides perspectives from Walter Cronkite who stated that a world government with a legislature, executive, and judiciary is needed to avoid catastrophic world conflict and enforce international laws. Cronkite argues that democracy and civilization are at stake, and that Americans will need courage and faith to yield some national sovereignty to a new, democratic U.N. federated system. The document asks what rights a sovereign nation would retain and give up in such a system and suggests areas like national trade policies, internal security, and taxes could be retained, while security, military, compliance with laws, and agreements may be given to the new world body.

7. Walter Cronkite, often referred to as “the
most trusted man in America,” stated in 1999:
“It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the
eventual catastrophic world conflict we must
strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a
world government with a legislature, executive and
judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws
and keep the peace.”

8. • Democracy, civilization itself, is at stake. Within the
next few years we must change the basic structure
of our global community from the present anarchic
system of war … to a new system governed by a
democratic U.N. federation.
Walter Cronkite
