Description: (Politics) The General Assembly Of North Carolina / Robert Lee Humber: The Decleration of the Federation of the World: Stapled wraps. Edward & Broughton Co. , Raleigh, NC. 1941. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Very Good This pamphlet is smaller than trade sized, with cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The booklet covers have noticeable toning / darkening. The text pages are clean and bright. There is a previous owner's penciled notation on the rear cover of the book. (not related to the booklet's subject). " Returning to North Carolina on the eve of World War II, Humber retired from business for the next decade devoted all his time, energy, and resources to what he considered the greatest single challenge confronting mankind—world peace. Stirred by his travels and exposure to other cultures, he was convinced that man's only hope for a permanent and lasting peace lay in the establishment of a world order implemented by a world federal government. In his pamphlet, The Declaration of the Federation of the World, he set forth his idea that order among men could be maintained only under law, law restraining the individual rather than the confrontation of nations through military action after the failure of diplomacy. Humber launched his Movement for World Federation on 27 Dec. 1940 at Davis Island in Core Sound, an old ancestral home. After he had lobbied across the state, the General Assembly passed his resolution, becoming the first legislative body in history to endorse the principles of a world federal government. Humber immediately began a campaign among the other state legislatures, working in nearly all of them himself over the next ten years. Sixteen states adopted his resolution and a number of others accepted his ideas in some modified form. A co-founder of the United World Federalists at Asheville in 1947, he served as vice-president during the next four years and remained on the North Carolina branch's executive council until his death. In 1960 he was elected president of the state organization and served for six years." (from WIkipedia) 1 132 #43813 $40
