here are some really interesting quotations from the "british commonwealth and the future: proceedings of the second unofficial conference on british commonwealth relations, sydney 3rd-17th september, 1938" book. the members discussed how they would use the british commonwealth as a transitional stepping stone to eventually create a world government. and that obviously eventually came to pass in the form of the united nations. they talked about how over time, the british commonwealth might gradually fade away after it had fulfilled its purpose.  this conception of the commonwealth as the nucleus of a system of world government was discussed from various angles, both in the session of that morning and at the two subsequent meetings of the commission. - british commonwealth and the future: proceedings of the second unofficial conference on british commonwealth relations, sydney 3rd-17th september, 1938 edited by henry vincent hodson, page 221 the commonwealth order, we may surmise, is only a path to a world order. the conference discussions suggested that this gradual assimilation might happen in the economic as well as the political sphere. whether the commonwealth would then continue, or pass away as having fulfilled its usefulness, would be for some british commonwealth relations conference of the future to discuss. - british commonwealth and the future: proceedings of the second unofficial conference on british commonwealth relations, sydney 3rd-17th september, 1938 edited by henry vincent hodson, page 278   commonwea00comm   cxnq6sig
