cheating, injustice, and inequality; insane,
crazed, violent raciaJ bigotries and
hatreds, and a struggle for immediate
status among elder nations of the
world!
Is independence WRONG, then?
Should these nations return to colonial
rule?
Let's get the point! NONE of the
methods of government in this world
today have brought this world peace.
NOT ONE of the governmental systems
of this world have brought a REAL and
a LASTJNG peace, even for its own
peoples!
Look at the tribal bloodshed in Africa;
the violent rel igious battles in Vietnam;
the stifling economies of much
of Latin America; the impending famine
in India; the worsening crime,
deepening moral decay, and the sickness
of "too much" blighting the big
powers! There is no peace today!
This article is NOT intended to extoll
the virtues of ANY man-made system of
government-but to show clearly the
failings of ALL systems!
Not in all human history has ANY
attempt of mankind to govern himself
led the world toward peace!
Today, we are closer to HUMAN
EXTINCTION through the squabbles of
GOVERNMENTS than ever before in human
experience !
Point to the government that has
brought the world peace! Identify, if
you can, the ONE GREAT SYSTEM that
has ALWAYS SUCCEEDED! Yes, just as
two plus two still makes four, so does
the very FACT that mankind's searching
for PEACE, MAN'S IV AY, always leads
toward g reater wars!
World Government Only Solution
All statesmen recognize the stern
fact that WORLDWIDE government is the
ONLY solution to man's ills. They know
only a SUPER WORLDWIDE government,
embodying ALL nations, with WORLD
courts, world laws, and a wodd police
force could eve" succeed.
And yet, they know such a government
in the hands of men is IMPOSSI­
BLE!
A world government? That would
mean every nation renounce its own
sovereignty. It means an immediate solution
to the deepest problems dividing
The PLAIN TRUTH
the human race! It means immediate
solutions to all the monstrous problems
of RACE, iang!l(lge, and education!
It would mean a complete revision in
the perspective of history, as it wildly
differs in different nations; it would
mean immediate TRUST between all nations,
immediate disappearance of all
nationalism, chauvinism, racism, rightism,
leftism, communism, capitalismand
the immediate adoption of one
world 1'eligion.l
It would mean human beings would
suddenly QUIT being vam, selfish,
suspicious, hostile, trucuJent, nationalistic,
egotistic, proud, lustful, jealous,
greedy, steeped in their own traditions,
and deeply committed to their own
religious faiths.
It would mean mankind would SUD­
DENLY have to become HUMB LE, meek,
long-suffering, easy to be entreated,
slow to anger, magnanimous, selfless,
loving, sharing, giving, understanding;
eager to listen, always believing the
best, never speaking evil, totally honest,
completely CHANGED!
If You Were To Become a
" Citizen of the World."
Put it this way: If YOU were representative
of YOUR government-and
were considering membership In a
WORLD government-here's what it
would take for you and all your people
to succeed!
You would have to immediately
GIVE UP ALL yom own national history;
with its colorful and "quaint" traditions-realizing
that one WORLD history
book would have to be written, not
always showing the past of YOUR nation
in the same I ight in which you have
been accustomed to viewing it.
All your national CULTURE must go.
The reasoning YOll follow when you see
someone else accomplishing an act, and
say, "we do it better." All national
PruDE is out the window, and aU national
CONSCIENCE. Your stirring of
heart at all the old songs, the old wars
of yesteryear, the old heroes-the graveyards
filled with your "glorious" dead
-all the traditionalism, ceremony, culture,
art, literature-it all goes.
And all feelings of love for COUNTRY
must go-since there will BE no such
thing as different countries! Your
August, 1966
natural suspicion toward other languages,
races, religions and cultures
must go immediately! Your feelings
about black, yellow, brown, whiteabout
health and hygiene, about marriage
and social customs, about clothing,
dress, and even your way of eating
must give way to a new "world" culture!
And everything which would be a
REMINDER of these things would have
to go.
You.r old pictures, uniforms, dresses,
scrapbooks, sheet music, mementos,
records, and all reminders of any past
military experience must go. And so
must all old chants, marches, songs,
and military cocktail toasts!
Do you begin to realize the truly
IMPOSSIBLE PROPORTIONS such a solution
takes on?
And WHO WOULD RULE? Would
members of ALL races be present? And
WHAT POWER WOULD ENFORCE that
rule? What if two or three members of
one race, representing different countries,
decided against this deep uprooting
of al1 nationalism-and pulled Ollt
of that one world government?
Who would decide to punish them?
How would they be punished' What if
they had NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
Who would head the WORLD POLICE
FORCE? How would it be controlled?
What if a black policeman arrested a
,white citizen of the world, and other
whites, not having totally overcome
their racism- resented it?
Would YOU be satisfied with such a
solution ?
Are YOU ready to make such
changes, and make them IMMEDIATELY?
It's about time you see once and for
all there IS NO MAN*MADE SOLUTION
FOR THE DEEP GOVERNi\ofENTAL SICK­
NESS OF THIS WORLD!
But there is a soltl/iou !
Dr. Robert M. Page said, "So long
as you have hwnan nature, there will
be wars !"
And HOW TR UE! HUMAN NATURE,
DY its very existence, defeats the idea
of any super world government! That
is, in the hands of a MAN!
Read, next month, how world government
WILL work-in spite of the
overwhelming problems of this world
today!
