lass conflict and ultimately to social disintegration. If the community is dependent upon production for its existence, there must be sufficient incentive to continue production, otherwise the community dies. The disastrous consequences that must of necessity follow on the economic order as it is constituted at the present time are already in evidence,--strikingly so in the case of the European breakdown. The owning class society is coming to an end--falling of its own weight. The time has come when the producers must take the control of the world into their own hands or suffer disaster. Man's sense of justice tells him that the product should belong to him who is responsible for creating it, and his experience teaches him that human beings take a greater interest in that which is theirs than they take in the property of another. The results of production should go to the producers; the machinery of production and the materials entering into production should belong to those responsible for the carrying on of the productive process. How shall these things be? Only when the producers themselves decide to make them come true. All power to the producers! This sentence carries with it the key to the society of the future. VI. WORLD ADMINISTRATION 1. _The Basis for World Administration_ When the producers of the world are organized along the lines of their economic activities, and are federated in local, district and divisional federations, and in a world producers' federation, the structural side of the producers society will be complete. Such a structure is built for use, not for appearance, and its effectiveness depends upon the way in which it works. The handling or administration of the producers society is therefore the determining factor in its success. A world producers' society may fail as miserably as any other form of social organization unless it is deliberately utilized to attain the ends for which it was created. The establishment of a world parliament consisting of representatives from the major industrial groups would create an authority more powerful than that of any existing state because, in the first place, it would be more extensive than any existing state. But even supposing that one of the great nations--Britain or the United States--was to conquer the world and attempt to administer it, the world producers' federation would be far more effective than such a victor, because
