She has outlined her plan for
a union of nations in a book form.
AS far as / know she is the first
woman to block an actual world
peace plan on such a scale. So she
is my nomination for the Woman
of the Month.
Mrs. Rohde based her plan for
world union on the same kind of
democratic system which she
found at home.
THE founding fathers had Is
states she said in describing it t.
me. 'They were as full of suspi-
cion and lack of understanding as
the nations are TODAY. But they
were welded into one peaceful
unit. If we say the democratic
system is good and we believe in
it, then why not use it?
ITO begin with, there would
have to be an agreement between
nations - something they could
subscribe to like the constitution,
including a definite bill of rights,
that sets line beyond which no
country can 60" -...r r. ,, .o.
Then Mrs. Rohde went on to
outline the framework on which
the union could function.
First there would have to be
an executive head, elected by all
the nations. Sometimes he would
come from one country, some
times from another. Under him
there would be International de
partmentS of commerce, eco
Monies, etc, to handle the basic
commodities which have often
provoked wars.
Second, legislative body of
two houses. If there were go ma
tons in the union there could be
a senate of 100 1.-TWO from each
nation) and a lower house pro-
portioned on some ratio of popu-
lation. @ a. 4.
Third. there would be an inter
national court whose authority
would be similar to that of our
Supreme Court and whose mem
bership would be drawn from all
the nations in the union. 1t could
Judge disputes between nations.
"And, finally, there would be an
international police force. Each
nation could contribute something
to it = troops, equipment, land
or food. Suppose trouble boils up
betweent France and Germany. AS
