Robert Lee Humber Reports Progress Of Movement Started Here 2ND ANNUAL REPORT GIVEN AT INLET INN TUESDAY AFTERNOON Robert Lee Humber was heard in Beaufort again on the subject of a World Fed eration 01 JNations on the sec ond anniversary of the his toric meeting on Davis' Is land, his ancestral home, where he launched a move ment whose principles were embodied in a Resolution, endors ed by a representative group of Carteret citizens, that a Common wealth of Nations be formed and that the President call an interna tional convention to formulate a Constitution for the Federation of the World. Mr. Humber, able to adapt him self equally well to an audience of a thousand or ten, spoke intimate ly and informally to the 30 or more invited to hear his report at the Inlet Inn Tuesday afternoon. He spoke with conviction, how ever, as he gave his conception of a Commonwealth of Nations mod eled after our present Common wealth of States. As a member of the World Federation we would have State Governments, a Na tional Government, and, in addi tion, a third jurisdiction to which all nations of the world would vol untarily submit for the sake of world order a Federation of Na tions patterned after the Ameri can Union of States. He believes that the form of government, which has worked out practically for America, can be made practi cal for the world. Mr. Humber does not present his plan as a blue print of a world government, but a principle which he wants the world to accept. To illustrate: We have a lot, WE DE CIDE TO BUILD, then we engage an architect to work out our (.lans. What Mr. Humber wants to see the world decide is, "SHALL WE BUILD?" After that architects can be called in and details of the structure worked out. Mr. Humber points out that such a plan is the only hope for stabilizing the world order. Sub stitutes treaties, courts, balance of power, have all been tried and failed. He has been a student of international law at both Harvard and Oxford and has practiced it in Paris which enables him to speak with the voice of authority. There is nothing fanatic about him. He returned from war-torn Europe in 1940 a man with a vision. As one listens to him it seems not im plausible that it may some day See WORLD ORDER Page S m32$ vJ J J f I TIDE TABLE Information as to the. tide at Beaufort is given in this column.
