Hight did not occur until after I was
4~
months into my 12th year . Tele–
vision was unheard-of. Compare this
with the startling advances of the las t
few decades. And with the mounting
racial strife in Africa, mass demon–
st rations in Iran, riots, looting and
mass VIOLENCE worldwide. And
threat of all-out world-girdling NU–
CLEAR WAR.
And now, as we enter the decade
of the 1980s, Russia is on the march
through Afghani st a n, calling up
mass ive reserves with vast armies
mounting on borders of Iran, spear–
heading south to control the Indian
Ocean, threa tening Western Eu–
rope.
Suddenly, as we enter the 1980s,
it 's an entirely new world.
Again
1 ask: WHAT will this world
be like in
another
JO
years?
What Scientists Prophesy
Numerous world-famous scientists
and economists see a stern picture of
the future. They see- today- the
masses of illiterates in India, Africa
- more than half the world's popula–
tion in the depths of ignorance, pov–
erty, squalor and degradation; the
population explosion and the coming
food war; the breakdown of family
life- the very BASIS of a progressive
and thriving society; the spiraling
increase in crime; the fast-spreading
breakdown of law and order.
All this they see, and tell us
humanity's one great problem, now,
ÍS
the QUESTION OF SURVIVAL.
Ask these sober scientists and
economists HOW LONG we may con–
tinue in this present trend. Sorne will
guess, perha ps 1
O
more years–
others think less than 1O--sorne give
us a little more. But that's only
relative. lt 's still a question of SUR–
VIVAL!
Thefe ls Good News Ahead
But humanity WILL SURVIVE! There
is oooo NEWS for the future. lt is
reported by a major news source
most people-and most scientists a nd
eco nomis t s-have utterly over–
looked.
There is a master plan already
worked out. And it will bring to thi s
earth PEACE! There is a master plan
to solve the vast problems of illitera–
cy, starvation, poverty a nd squalor. l t
entails vast agraria n reforms, eco-
4
nomic reforms, reforms in govern–
ments, and
practica!
plans to bring
about di sa rmament and world
peace.
Many scientists and world leaders
know, in general , what it will take to
bring this solution. Today, many far–
seeing leaders put their fingers on the
one great change that can now save
humanity alive. What they don' t
know is how to implement it.
With one voice, these men say the
solution now demands a WORLD
GOVERNMENT.
There is one thing wrong with thi s
solution. That world supergovern–
ment would have to be given the
power of a world police force to
enforce its laws, and it would have to
maintain the ONLY military force in
the world-all nations would have to
surrender their a rmies, navies and a ir
forces to this one SUPERSTATE.
In a word,
every
nation would have
to surrender its national sovereignty
absolutely. And WHAT MAN could be
accepted by all as WORLD RULER?
lt
would, mind you, be a world POLICE
STATE. Would the Soviet Union give
up its struggle to harness the whole
world with communism and accept
a n American capitalistas their world
ruler? No, I'm afraid not in a thou–
sand years!
Would the United States accept a
North Vietnamese or a North Kor–
ean? NEVER!
There is only one way the nations
could get together on a world super–
government.
Within nations, each individual
has to be willing to give up his
personal sovereignty. He must sub–
mit to the laws of his government or
suffer the consequences. Of course,
individuals in all countries are given
certain personal liberties, not prohib–
ited by law.
So it must be with NATIONS- if
there is to be a world supergovern–
ment-if humanity is to survive! lf
there is to be thi s world supergovern–
ment all individual nations must first
give up their prívate selfish goals,
their dreams of world conquest-of
spreading
their
particular kind of
government around the world.
One important news magazine
said this can happen only if there is
" a strong Hand from someplace"
that would intervene.
So there is the world's dilemma.
Many leaders are agreed the
world's only hope is a world super–
government. At the same time, they
confess frankly that world supergov–
ernment is absolutely unfeasible and
utterly IMPOSSIBLE!
And where does that leave you?
Does ihat leave you with nothing but
gloom and doom for the future?
Two Alternatives-and Only Two
You
have
to face it-either there is
now no HOPE- either all humanity
soon will be erased from this
earth-or there does exist tha t
"strong Hand from someplace" with
supernatural power to INTERVENE in
world affairs - to literally take con–
trol from the human great powers
of this world and to SAVE humanity
from itself!
You need to
wake
up-and to
realize this means YOUR LIFE- and
the lives of your children, your fami–
ly, your friends a nd neighbors. The
one great problem facing every one of
US ÍS
HUMAN SURVIVAL. And the onJy
alternative to extinction-sooN- is
world government!
I sat in the press gallery in the
Opera House at the San Francisco,
(Calif.) Conference in 1945, when
world leaders were drawing up the
charter for the United Nations.
There 1 heard the leading statesmen
of the world warning that this United
Nations they were forming was "THE
WORLO'S LAST HOPE." One hour, in
plenary sessions, they were uttering
this solemn warning; the next hour in
group conferences with leaders from
other nations they were fighting for
their own special advantage.
The United Nations has proved
NOT to be that super-government.

Hiding your eyes from the existing

This is REAL! lt's HERE! There isn' t
