Mankind United: Chapter XIV. Earnings—Hours—Education—Generous Benefits and Ample Vacations

GENEROUS BENEFITS AND AMPLE VACATIONS

A "guarantee" of financial independence and security for all can be assured by The Research Department of The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration within a period of but a few months after the formation of The Universal Service Corporation, and the fulfillment of this guarantee can start taking place within ninety (90) days from the date of its general worldwide acceptance. Thereafter, no man or woman on the face of this earth need suffer from a lack of this world's resources, nor be required to work over four (4) hours per day, four (4) days per week, or eight (8) months each year, in order to earn a living.

Upon the acceptance of our Research Department's program, all adults will be guaranteed not less than three (3) days a week and four (4) entire months each year of vacation time with pay. All men and women will receive a minimum yearly salary of not less than three thousand ($3,000.00) dollars, which will gradually be increased to over ten times this amount as mankind's discoveries and capabilities are fully co-ordinated with efficient methods of production and distribution.

WITHIN TEN (10) YEARS MANKIND CAN LIVE IN A WORLD IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL BE EDUCATED AND TRAINED FOR THE PRIMARY OBJECT OF DEVELOPING THEIR LATENT TALENTS AND CAPABILITIES, AND OF OBTAINING THE GREATEST POSSIBLE ENJOYMENT AND HAPPINESS FROM LIFE OF WHICH THEY ARE CAPABLE. "INDIVIDUAL" AS WELL AS "COLLECTIVE" WELL-BEING AND HAPPINESS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL TALENTS, WILL

"MAN DOES NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE," NOR CAN HE EVER FIND HAPPINESS OR SATISFACTION IN A LIFE WHICH FORCES HIM TO CONSIDER ITS PREPARATION AS THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE OF HIS EXISTENCE.

Again we remind our readers that "right here on our earth" there is over one hundred (100) times as much land—capable of producing food—as mankind now cultivates. But in spite of this fact, over "five hundred million" (500,000,000) people are permitted to remain constantly hungry and over "thirty million" (30,000,000) of them to die of starvation annually. "Hunger and starvation" result solely from "Man's Inhumanity to Man,"—the general "blindness" of the mass of human beings and the wealthy men's frequently complete ignorance of either the "letter" or the "spirit" implied by The Golden Rule.

It has been complacently stated by economists—(who have learned so much, but whose wealthy clients have

Within the following ten (10) years, in order that the human race may guard against droughts, floods or other unforeseen calamities this will be done, upon mankind's acceptance of our Research Department's charter. However, except for some wholly "unheard-of" form of calamity, men need not ever be deprived of the seasonally grown and freshly prepared foods each year.

NO FOOD WILL EVER AGAIN BE LEFT TO ROT IN THE FIELDS OR ON THE TREES, NOR BE THROWN INTO THE OCEAN, AFTER "MANKIND UNITED" HAVE FORMED THEIR "UNIVERSAL SERVICE CORPORATION."

THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE AND YET HAVE STOOD BY AND WATCHED VAST QUANTITIES OF FOOD BEING DESTROYED WHILE OUR FELLOW BEINGS—IN A HUNDRED DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE EARTH—WERE STARVING TO DEATH, NEED NEVER AGAIN HIDE OUR HEADS IN SHAME OVER SUCH A TRAVESTY ON BROTHERLY LOVE.

Mankind's most experienced farmers, ranchers and producers will have the satisfaction and worthy task of "directing" the production and preparation of vast quantities of food and clothing materials, and of seeing to it

"FREE TRAVEL," "AMPLE LEISURE" AND "ADEQUATE INCOME" WITH WHICH TO OBTAIN FULL ENJOYMENT FROM LIFE, WILL BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE ON THIS GLOBE, LONG BEFORE OUR TEN (10) YEAR PROGRAM HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

Only by "truly constructive thinking," will the superstitions and groundless fears of mankind be ultimately destroyed. It matters not how abundantly we supply man with "material possessions;"—such things are as but a frame to a picture. If men are not taught what constitutes true happiness—(and only truly intelligent thinking will reveal "true" joy to them)—all of our love-inspired efforts

UNLESS SUBJECTS OF "TRUE MERIT" ARE TAUGHT, MEN WOULD SOON FORGET THAT IF THEY WOULD FIND HAPPINESS THEMSELVES, THEY MUST SHARE THIS WORLD'S BEAUTY AND BOUNTY EQUALLY WITH ONE ANOTHER. MAN'S ONLY GUARANTEE OF PERMANENT CONTENTMENT A N D JOYOUSNESS, RESTS SOLELY UPON HIS CAPACITY TO LEARN—THROUGH THE HIGHER CONCEPTS O F "BROTHERLY LOVE"—WHAT "TRUE HAPPINESS" REALLY IS; FOR SURELY IT CONSISTS AS MUCH IN "GIVING" AS IT DOES IN "GETTING."

Yes; the educational side of The Universal Service Corporation's program,—in its development and production of those things which will bring stability and happiness to the human race,—is indeed going to be by far the most vital and important of its many activities, and it will be but "barely starting" during the following 10-year period, on its endless journey of service.

The name which the Sponsors of this movement selected in designating their organization as "The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration," is intended to convey the "universal" and "endless" nature of the program upon which you will be invited to vote during the 30 days of its final presentation to the public. During the 10-year period in which we have promised that all of the material needs of man will be met and—through the construction of adequate facilities—permanently assured to coming generations, The Universal Service Corporation's program of education will have only commenced.

Organizing and co-ordinating the efforts of the world's most practical, capable and brilliant research economists,

TEN YEARS IS AMPLE TIME FOR FULFILLING THE INSTITUTE'S PROMISES, AND ELIMINATING POVERTY, WAR, AND EVERY OTHER ACCURSED EFFECT OF "MAD AMBITION" AND "ANIMAL GREED" FROM THE FACE OF THIS GLORIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL PLANET. BUT WHEN THIS TASK HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, AND THE MATERIAL NEEDS OF MEN ARE PERMANENTLY ASSURED, THEN MANKIND WILL HAVE ONLY BARELY STARTED UPON THE ADVENTURE OF LEARNING WHAT "LIFE" AND WHAT "HAPPINESS" TRULY MEAN.

Those who believe that "Mankind United" can obtain a greater degree of security for the individual members

In this eternal monument, there will be deposited and sealed within solid blocks of ageless granite—from century to century—each bit of demonstrable Truth or scientific knowledge discovered, tested, and demonstrated by the men and women of each successive generation, in order that their footsteps of progress,—(dating from mankind's first acceptance and "practical application" of Christ Jesus’ "Sermon on the Mount" with its "Golden Rules" of human relationship),—may be traced by those of later generations, and may stand forth as an eternal proof to such future generations of the practical value of "Brotherly Love"—"Unity" and "Unselfed Service"—as compared to the "Each-Wolf-For-Himself" Private Profit System of our present generation.

As an indisputable proof of the advantages gained when the inhabitants of the world unite as one family—"One for All and All for One,"—(and, although they may be living in separate and differently furnished rooms—or portions of the world—each individual receives the benefit of the efforts of all the others, and in turn shares the fruitage of his own talents with those who comprise the human family),—this monument will evidence to all future generations—and stand as a permanent reminder to them—that only when mankind had combined their talents and efforts for their "mutual welfare," had their progress been "uninterrupted and continuous"—unbroken either by wars, or other similarly destructive forces, or by any weakening of their unselfishly united energies.
