Theory

laws do exist; however, no world
law.
Advocating a stronger United
Nations, she stated that the UN
provides a forum where diplo
mats discuss world problems
rather than take recourse to
military action.
She concluded: “. . . world
peace through world law is a
great and necessary prospect.”

publicity throughout the state. She
will appear on U. S. History,
