Canadian WHO director right after WW2 and all the way thru Korea, the 1st real flexing of the UN's "World Policeman" role. Eastern Europe's consolidation by USSR well underway and most of Africa, Middle East, and southeast Asia in turmoil as former colonial powers (Dutch, Portuguese, French, Belgian, & British) scrambled to retain control their old realms. In the early 1950s this had to look like a dream situation towards the goal of global government. Chaos, chaos, chaos. To be objective about Chisholm's quote though, it looks like he was a Unitarian, a religion that essentially prays To whom it may concern... So the quote makes sense from that background and since he was former military it was certainly pragmatic.
Aside; imagine being awake in the US and seeing all this for what it was, global government. You were likely a ham radio operator but few around you could share info with beyond that community. The John Birch Society had yet to form and for most, the memory of WW2 still fresh. With Korea now over I'd bet most in the USA just wanted to put the memory of war and strife way behind then and were receptive for some greater power to just take care of things. I recall seeing a graphic image taken from the UN's published materials. It showed 2 groups of equally matched military representing the US & USSR dated 1950s (present tense for graphic). Below the 2 groups was a tiny group labeled UN. The next image showed a massive military marked UN over 2 small groups marked US & USSR. That was dated 1970s.
