European nations, not un1tmg them.
When it appeared, after the "D-Day"
crossing of the channel, that Hitler
faced defeat, I continued to say that
Germany would rise out of defeat, and
ultimately Europe would unite in a
modero United States of Europe.
No one believed it, then . People
laughed and scoffed and ridiculed. Most
thought Germany could not rise again
in fifty years. But our representatives
visited Germany in 1952 and saw an in–
dustrial GlANT emerging! The Germans
had not yet rebuilt much housing. They
lived in temporary little make-shift
places. Retail stores operated from r uins
of bombed buildings. They rebuilt their
factories first. PRODUCTJON had to come
before comforts, pleasures or luxuries.
In 1953, in a Düsseldorf hotel, I was
awakened at 5 a.m. by the lusty singing
of workmen, walking briskly with their
briefcases to work. At 5 a.m.!
What a contrast from what I saw in
England ! There, although reports I re–
ceived in the British H ome Office
stated that, to retain a prewar living
standard, British labor would have
to produce sorne 65% more than
prewar, I fou nd Britons virtually "com–
ing to tea, and taking an occasional
work break."
Look at the result today. Britain, vic–
torious in the war, has lost her Empire,
and been reduced to a second-rate
power in the world. Gecmany, defeated
in the war, has risen to become one of
the major powers.
And now, at the beginning of the
70's,
for the first time,
I am prepared to
say that the política! and military
UN!ON in Europe probably will be
achieved
d11ring this decade.
And there
is strong POSSlBILITY it may cause the
whole world to stand aghast at its sud–
den accomplishment during the early
part of the decade.
When this is accomplished, it will
completely alter the enti re world scene.
It will provide a
third
GIANT power,
egua! to or even superior to either the
United States or Russia! And, to the
su rprise of most, the world will be star–
tled to learn that it will have been pro–
vided with military NUCLEAR power!
It is very possible that this present
decade we h ave entered will see a very
pronounced increase in droughts and
The
PLAIN TRUTH
.Roods, bringing unprecedented disease
epidemics in their wake. This, too,
could happen even in the fust half of
the decade. Unbelievable millions will
die. It is p robable, also, that this decade
will see a rapid stepping up of .EARTH–
QUAKES, greater and greater in in–
tensity, many occurring in areas where
they never occurred before-supposedly
earthquake-free areas.
Nations never in history have pro–
duced new aod more destructive weap–
ons without using them. It is probable
that the nuclear World War III, more
frightful than anything in human his–
tory,
may
explode on an unsuspecting
world
dttring this decade!
But THERE IS ALSO UNB!iLIEVABLE
GOOD NEWS!
If
what I have said looks depressing,
there is the brighter side r 1F tbis hap –
pens, it will be merely the storm before
the dawn of a beautiful, happy wORLD
OF PEACE.
One of America's three leadiog mass–
circulation news magazines said some–
thing to the effect that the future looks
bleak and hopeless . . . UNLESS there
shalJ appear AN UNSEEN HAND FROM
SOMEPLACE to change
Ít.
That possibility is notas ri diculous as
many wi ll think. l would even go so
far as to say it is
more than possible
such an unexpected turn in events shall
occur during
this
decade!
Why
sho11ldn't
we have UTOPJA
here
on earth?
WHY?
Tbe
Los Angeles Times,
at the top of
page 1 of a 640-page Sunday edition,
recently ran a story on a UTOPIAN col–
lege campus. The word "utopía" was
used in its headline. It was a story
The
Times
did on a unique and diffe rent col–
lege campus, where there are no riots,
there is no protest, there are no hippies,
but where everybody is smi ling and
seems to be real!
y
happy!
It is a college campus which includes
one of the largest printing plants on the
west coast of America, where
The
PLAlN
TRUTH is printed.
It
is the campus of
Ambassador College, pubJisher of
The
PLAIN TRUTH.
There is a CAUSE for every effect.
There is a CAUSE for all the world's
troubles. There is also a CAUSE for the
enjoyable happiness that radiates all
February, 1970
over this campus. The same result has
been achieved on two other campuses –
the Ambassador Co!lege campus in east
T exas, and the one in England.
A utopian world
IS POSSIBLE!
We
have proved
it.
Although there is a saying about
it
being darkest just before dawn, and we
are now rapidly being whisked into that
very short period of darkness in world
history, it is the most SURE sign of the
DAWN immedi ately beyond. And it is
entirely possible that the 1970's may be
the decade that brings that very UTOPIA
to the world.
And WHY NOT
~
The dictionary
describes Utopía as an imaginary or
impractical and impossible place or
state of PERFECTION. But WHY should
it be imaginary or impossible?
Why
shouldn't we have PEACE on earth, with
un iversal prosperity, good health, right
education, abundant well-being for
EVERYBODY?
Tell me WHY we shouldn't have it?
You may cal! Ambassador College an
experiment in UTOP!A if you like -
but students and faculty on these three
campuses will tell you we surely are
approaching utopía - these campuses
are happy, joyful places to be. THERE
IS A REASON. There is a CAUSE for this
result. We advocate this WAY in
The
PtArN TRUTH. We practíce what we
preach. And we certainly ENJOY the
result!
T rue, we do say it actually
will
re–
quire this "strong hand from sorne–
place" to solve the world's troubles and
briog us PEACE. Then the critic will
ask, "Aren't you saying it is IMPOSSlBLE
for humanity to solve our problems ?"
No! We
don't
say it is imposs ible -
we say HUMANITY !S NOT \XIILLING -
humanity R.EFUSES. It is impossible
ONLY because humanity rejects THE
\YIAY to peace, prosperity and a l! the
GOOD THINGS - only because humanity
REFUSES.
It is not impossible. We are PROVING
that on the Ambassador College caro–
puses! Why not come and VJSIT the
campus nearest you? See fo r yourself!
Visitors are always welcome and we
provide guides for tou rs.
Yes, the decade of the 70's MAY
usher in worldwide UTOPIA!
