{"value"=>"<p>The Campaign for World Government correspondence sheds light on the inner workings of the organization, and on behind-the-scenes politics of the greater world government movement. Extremely detailed in their coverage, the letters appear to provide comprehensive documentation of the Campaign's efforts.</p> <p>Topics covered include the details of letter-writing campaigns, fund-raising efforts, collaborations with other similar organizations, ongoing dialogue on world events and pacifist politics, strategizing and communications with members of congress sponsoring Campaign for World Government bills, and other general lobbying efforts. A sizeable amount of correspondence is devoted to the discussion of contentious issues and factions within the larger circle of world government activists, including debates as to whether certain organizations were Communist fronts. The correspondence reveals that Campaign staff often viewed the movement as a zero-sum competition. Evidence of occasional rancor is found most frequently in the correspondence related to Rosika Schwimmer's pamphlet \"Union Now, for Peace or War?,\" her response to Clarence Streit's successful book Union Now. Researchers interested in Streit's plan and Schwimmer's rebuttal should also consult the files in Series III Campaigns and Conferences.</p> <p>While General Correspondence is arguably the most informative series regarding Campaign efforts, researchers interested in a particular program, individual, or theme are advised to review the materials arranged in the last two series of the collection: Campaigns and Conferences, and Topical Files. For letters exchanged regarding the Alexander Peace Bill, for example, readers may wish to review both the General Correspondence for the pertinent years, as well as the approximately two boxes of files on the bill found in Campaigns and Conferences.</p>"}
