*According to Dan Plesch, director of international studies at SOAS, University of London, “Churchill hankered for the vision of an Anglo-Saxon world Empire,” defined by “an alliance of the English speaking peoples.” Plesch credited ER for splendid lobbying efforts, in alliance with Clark Eichelberger, formerly of the League of Nations Association. Eichelberger had founded the United Nations Association in 1943, and with ER he created UN committees all across the United States.
