This group subsequently merged with other organizations in 1943 to create Federal World Government, Inc. which evolved into World Federalists, USA in 1945, and in 1947, it transformed into the United World Federalists (UWF).[6]

(UWF).[8][1] Cord Meyer IV was the first president of the organization, with Grenville Clark, Thomas K. Finletter, Wallace Trevor Holliday serving as vice-presidents.[1][3]
In the year 1948, the organization had more than 34,000 members, including 7,000 students.[3] This number grew to more than 50,000 members in early 1950s.[9]
