Abuse of National Sovereianty
Delegates applauded a speech by John Foster Dulles, famed Wall Street lawyer and potent Presbyterian layman: " This system of dividing the surface of the earth among some 60 nations, and allowing each to do what jit pleases, has become as obsolete as the unregulated public utility. ... The sovereignty system is no longer consonant either with peace or justice. It is imperative that there be transition to a new order . . . for the present system is rapidly encompassing its own destruction. The real problem is not whether there will be'transition, but whether transition can occur without violent and unnecessary destruction of moral and political conceptions ... evolved under the guiding influence of Christianity.
