James Burnham, The Struggle for the World (Toronto: Longmans,
1947):

"A World Federation initiated and led by the United States would be, we
have recognized, a World Empire. In this imperial federation, the United
States, with a monopoly of atomic weapons, would hold a preponderance of
decisive material power over all the rest of the world. In world politics,
that is to say, there would not be a balance of power."
