the rights, privileges and economics of the general run of mankind. Who they may be; of what nationality (or lack of it): of what race, color or creed ( or lack of it), they may be, I neither know, nor particularly care. I do not believe them to be the "International Jews" to whom so many demagogs point with abhorrence. I rather suspect that they may be of the group of international munitions makers -- or those who are behind these men. I know not. Nor could I cure if I did know. But so many events and details dovetail into each other so perfectly, that there is a continually growing wonder in my mind "if there may not be something behind" all of this belief. But I do know that there is a continually growing army of the plain, common people, as well as an even-more-rapidly growing majority of our thinkers and educators, who are seeing the possibilities that lie ahead of Man when he has once thrown off these shackles of war and disunion, and achieved a Brotherhood of Man is a real and a sincere thing. These people are talking, writing and preaching this doctrine in ever louder tones, throughout all the world. And Man is awakening to their message, and believing, hoping -- and beginning to do something about it. Even in spite of the present holocaust -- or because of it. Let us take a quick look at the past century, from the American Civil War until the present. What marvellous mechanical wonders Man has wroght in that time. Even I, at the half-century mark, remember the beginnings of the automobile, electric lights and power for general wide-spread use; the phonograph and radio; the airplane; Diesel engines; tractors and washing machines for the farmer and his wife; innumerable household appliances; and the great growth of our present-type factories. These, and a myriad other wonders now commmonplaces, I have seen born and developed. Alas I have also seen them turned into savage instruments of butchery! Too, I have seen our children given over greater advantages of education; of a chance at life through health and sanitary improvements; of a better chance for economic security. I have seen colleges and universities made available for the children of poor parents, where once they were the playthings of the rich, or were attained only by a few exceptionally gifted poor boys who forced their way into the charmed circles by giving up the play hours of their youth in drudging toil to earn the money necessary to get them their chance at an education. Indeed, it was even possible for me to assist my own three children to get college educations, out of the none-too-great salaries I have earned. 4
