tional Assembly, the proud daughter of the American Baha'i
Community, for the erection of a similar national center in the Italian
and Swiss capitals.

Of no less importance, though involving a smaller outlay of funds, is the
establishment of token national endowments in the aforementioned cities,
in anticipation of the formation of an independent national spiritual
assembly in each of them, at a later stage in the execution of this
stupendous Plan.

The translation and publication of Baha'i literature in the European and
American Indian languages, allocated to your Assembly and its European
Teaching Committee under the provisions of the Ten-Year Plan, is yet
another objective of this second phase of this World Crusade, a task that
must be resolutely pursued and speedily consummated in order to facilitate
the intensive teaching activity which, at a later stage, must be conducted
for the purpose of converting a considerable number of the minority races
in both Europe and America to the Faith of Baha'u'llah.

The all-important teaching enterprises in France and Finland, designed to
broaden the basis of the infant Administrative Order in both countries,
and extend the ramifications of the Faith to their chief towns and cities,
is yet another responsibility which should be promptly discharged, as an
indispensable preliminary to the establishment in each of these two
countries of an independent national assembly.

Finally, the establishment of a Baha'i Publishing Trust, similar in its
essentials to the institution already functioning in the British Isles,
and which must serve as a model for other national assemblies in both the
East and the West, is a matter to which prompt and earnest attention must
be directed in the course of the second phase of the Plan, and which will
require full and speedy consultation with the national elected
representatives of the British Baha'i Community.

A systematic campaign designed to proclaim the Faith to the masses through
the press and radio must moreover be launched and maintained with
vigilance, persistence and vigor.

The American Baha'i Community--the champion-builders of an Order which
posterity will hail as the harbinger of a civilization to be regarded as
the fairest fruit of the Revelation proclaimed by Baha'u'llah; the
principal trustees of a Plan which future generations will acclaim as one
of the two greatest legacies left by the Center of His Covenant; marching
in the van
