s. A world executive, backed by an international Force, will
carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by,
this world legislature, and will safeguard the organic unity of
the whole commonwealth. A world tribunal will ajudicate and
deliver its compulsory and final verdict in all and any disputes
that may arise between the various elements constituting this
universal system. A mechanism of world intercommunication will be
devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national
hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvelous
swiftness and perfect regularity. A world metropolis will act as
the nerve center of a world civilization, the focus towards which
the unifying forces of life will converge and from which its
energizing influences will radiate. A world language will either
be invented or chosen from among the existing languages and will
be taught in the schools of all the federated nations as an
auxiliary to their mother tongue. A world script, a world
literature, a uniform and universal system of currency, of weights
and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and
understanding among the nations and races of mankind. In such a
world society, science and religion, the two most potent forces in
human life, will be reconciled, will coeoperate, and will
harmoniously develop. The press will, under such a system, while
giving full scope to the expression of the diversified views and
convictions of mankind, cease to be mischievously manipulated by
vested interests, whether private or public, and will be liberated
from the influence of contending governments and peoples. The
economic resources of the world will be organized, its sources of
raw materials will be tapped and fully utilized, its markets will
be coeordinated and developed, and the distribution of its products
will be equitably regulated.
National rivalries, hatred, and intrigues will cease, and racial
animosity and prejudice will be replaced by racial amity,
understanding and coeoperation. The causes of religious strife will
be permanently removed, economic barriers and restrictions will be
completely abolished, and the inordinate distinction between
classes will be obliterated. Destitution on the one hand, and
gross accumulation of ownership on the other, will disappear. The
