mailing list archive - Does EJ advocated a World Government?

as I was reading an interview of EJ (The Details of Time, Conversation with
Juenger)
I came across the following statement by EJ:

Everithing is global, the telegraph as well as air links, but we still don't
have a world government. Tha's the Aladdin problem, which is no mere
fiction. We seem to be repressing more and more instead of advancing. That's
a worldwide phenomenon: thoughts move at different speed than actual events.

and later he adds:

My feeleing is that everything ought to be in one hand...
(the americans) should have consolidated their monopoly and handed it over
toi a kind of
world comitee.

My concern is whether EJ is just describing actual events or taking side in
favor of a world government UN style.
