Mankind United: Chapter XV. The Universal Service Corporation Equally Owned—Equally Controlled Equally Beneficial

EQUALLY OWNED—EQUALLY CONTROLLED

EQUALLY BENEFICIAL

During the 30-day program of revelations and recommendations prepared by The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration, each of the Research Department's discoveries and perfected inventions,—to which we have made reference in this bulletin,—will not only be fully described, but will also be offered without cost to those of the human race who associate with The Universal Service Corporation and who will thereby consent to their "equal use," and to the equal unprejudiced distribution of the products and benefits of these numerous discoveries and inventions. An equality which must be subject only to the length of time it will take to teach backward people how to read and write, and how to appreciate and constructively use the world's modern inventions.

THE INSTITUTE'S DISCOVERIES MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PEOPLE OF EVERY LAND, NO MATTER HOW "BACKWARD" CERTAIN OF SUCH PEOPLE MAY SEEM TO BE BEFORE THEY ARE TAUGHT THE TRUE VALUE OF "UNITED EFFORT" AND "BROTHERLY LOVE."

Not only will the immediate abundance of the necessities and luxuries of life, to which we have herein referred, start flowing to the human race within a period of months but, with the aid of the world's numerous mechanical inventions and of our Research Department's revolutionary discoveries, they will be produced without the necessity of any of The Corporation's employees ever being obliged—after the first 12 months of its program—to work more than 4 hours per day, 4 days each week, or over 8 months in any one year. This ruling will apply both to "skilled" and "unskilled" labor, as well as to office workers and officials. All employees of said corporation will also receive three (3) days each week and four (4) entire months each year of vacation periods with pay.

BEFORE THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR OF ITS EXISTENCE, THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE CORPORATION WILL BE ABLE TO PAY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF ITS EMPLOYEES,—FROM THE ONES OCCUPYING THE MOST LOWLY POSITIONS, TO THOSE WHO WILL CONSTITUTE ITS EXECUTIVE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,—A MINIMUM SALARY OF THREE THOUSAND ($3,000.00) DOLLARS PER YEAR. WITHIN LESS THAN TEN YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ITS FORMATION

If one had a loaf of bread worth ten cents and, after eating it, was still hungry—and decided he could eat ten more loaves—he wouldn't reach into his pocket and expect to satisfy his hunger by chewing up a dollar's worth of ten-cent pieces. Dollars, when converted into that of which they are only the "symbols of value," represent bread and butter, shoes, dresses, suits, hats, automobiles, airplanes, homes, beautiful parks, education, amusements, and all things desired by man.

IT IS NOT DIFFICULT FOR ANY WELL-INFORMED MAN OR WOMAN TO PROVE THAT THE EARTH'S RESOURCES ARE AMPLY ABUNDANT, AND THAT THE WORLD'S HIGHLY EXPERIENCED

If the world's present number of factories produce—let us say—an average of three hundred ($300.00) dollars worth of necessities and luxuries of life for each of the worlds inhabitants, and such production having proven to be inadequate, mankind votes a salary check of three thousand ($3,000.00) dollars per year for food, clothes, homes, etc., to each man and woman employee and equal co-owner of The Universal Service Corporation,—all that it will be necessary for them to do then, is not to produce more gold or silver—or to print more money—but merely to build more "factories" and "machinery" and produce more food, clothes, homes, etc. When mankind decide that each man or woman should have thirty thousand ($30,000.00) dollars instead of three thousand ($3,000.00) dollars per year, they will again increase the number of their factories, and continue to do so until the desired quantities of necessities and luxuries which they may choose to use, are finally being produced.

The Research Department of The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration will, during its 30-day program of proclamations, "irrefutably" prove to even the most skeptical of men and women, that

ALL WELL-INFORMED INDIVIDUALS A R E ALSO FULLY AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THE UNEMPLOYED OF EVERY MAJOR NATION COULD—DURING THE PAST SIX YEARS—HAVE

THE FACT THAT AFTER "SIX YEARS," NOT EVEN ONE NATION HAS BEEN ABLE TO SUPPLY "PERMANENT" POSITIONS FOR ITS UNEMPLOYED—(OR TO BREAK THE BACKBONE OF THE HIDDEN RULERS’ CAREFULLY PLANNED WORLD-WIDE DEPRESSION)-SHOULD PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR ANY INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING TO PROVE THAT IT IS HOPELESSLY FUTILE TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS OF HUMAN LIFE ON OUR EARTH THROUGH THE PROCESS OF "WRITING 'LITTLE CROSSES' ON PIECES OF PAPER WHICH WE CALL BALLOTS," AND EXPECT—IN SOME MIRACULOUS MANNER—TO CAUSE THE "LEOPARD" TO CHANGE ITS SPOTS.

THE POLITICAL MACHINES OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN FOR CENTURIES—AND ARE TODAY—OWNED "BODY AND SOUL" BY THE WORLD'S HIDDEN RULERS, AND ARE FULLY AND COMPLETELY CONTROLLED AT THEIR WILL

WHENEVER THE "INTELLIGENT" MEN AND WOMEN WHO CONSTITUTE THE WILLING WORKERS AND CONSTRUCTIVE THINKERS OF THE WORLD, "DEMAND" THAT ALL ABLE-BODIED UNEMPLOYED ADULTS BE IMMEDIATELY PROVIDED WITH PERMANENT POSITIONS,

During one of our Research Department's extensive investigations in China, Japan, and certain countries in Europe, it was discovered that a force of over one hundred million (100,000,000) gardeners,—(whose ancestry comes from those who have for centuries lived close to the soil and know and love plant life),—could—within a period of a matter of weeks—be formed into an organization whose members would consent to live in any part of the world or travel to any point to which they might be sent, and who would gladly spend the remaining years of their lives working as gardeners in exchange for no other salary or remuneration than that consisting of the coarsest kinds of food, and the plainest, roughest kind of clothing. And the only homes they ask for are tents or plain board huts. IF ANYONE WOULD GUARANTEE TO FEED THESE PEOPLE AND CONSEQUENTLY QUIET THEIR FEAR OF "STARVATION," THEY WOULD WILLINGLY WORK 16 TO 18 HOURS PER DAY, AND FOR NO MORE REMUNERATION THAN JUST BARELY ENOUGH TO EAT. WITH THE WORLD'S CIVILIZED (?) NATIONS DESTROYING ALMOST "UNLIMITED" QUANTITIES OF FOOD EACH YEAR, DOES NOT SUCH A PITIABLE CONDITION SEEM AT LEAST "SLIGHTLY" UNJUSTIFIABLE?

INASMUCH A S MANKIND'S EXECUTIVE TALENTS WERE QUITE ABLE TO EFFICIENTLY

Knowing the readiness with which our planet could be made to produce an abundance of food for all mankind, our Sponsors have planned—and will recommend to the Universal Service Corporation—that a standing force of not less than one hundred million (100,000,000) men and women landscape architects and gardeners be maintained as a permanent branch of said corporation's activities. Knowing that such workers will receive the same educational benefits and compensation as any other group of employees, and that they will not be required to work any more than the usual 4 hours per day, 4 days a week or over 8 months each year, is it not indeed an inspiring vision—"and an ambition worthy of intelligent creatures"—to contemplate providing such employment for the tens of millions of broken-spirited, fear-filled human beings who now ask no more from life than merely "enough food" to keep from dying?

IT IS TO THOSE WHO THINK THAT SUCH AN AMBITION IS WORTHY OF FULFILLMENT,

EACH OWNER OF SAID CORPORATION WILL HAVE AN "EQUAL" VOTE IN ITS MANAGEMENT, AND WILL BE OBLIGED TO CAST HIS

Although the majority of the citizens of many countries regularly vote on the various political issues presented to them, the fact still remains that they are seldom allowed to "actually understand" the issues upon which they vote; and not "one" out of ten thousand of them—at any time—"really knows" what is "actually taking place" on the inside of the world's constantly changing political administrations. The public is therefore readily "duped" into supporting many projects which have been cunningly conceived for purposes directly the reverse of those for which people thought they were voting.

Compulsory attendance at the respective local branch-business meetings of The Universal Service Corporation will be for the purpose of permanently preventing its owners from "unknowingly" consenting to activities of which they may not approve. In due course of time,

An executive who is not capable of training his immediate assistant to assume higher responsibilities within not to exceed a three-year period—in order that he himself may be free to advance into broader fields of activity—will not possess the qualifications which our charter will require of its executives.

No employee will be permitted to occupy a position without first agreeing to strive to advance in accordance with such a one's proven qualifications. When one has proven that he possesses the qualifications and the necessary

The "Personnel" department of the Corporation will be so conducted that neither the factors of favoritism nor family relationship will enter into the selection of employees

When one observes how the effect of "fear"—"ENTIRELY A MENTAL QUALITY"—causes the blood to "instantly" drain from one's face and causes it to turn almost white;—and then again—when one's thoughts are suddenly filled with "anger or hate"—to observe the blood surge to one's face until its shade of color turns from deep red to almost a purplish tint—"AND THIS CONDITION ALSO CAUSED ENTIRELY BY THOUGHT"—it is not difficult to visualize the extreme action and strain to which the numerous delicately-balanced organs of the body must be subjected before they can cause such effects to appear.

When one contemplates the ceaseless tension and strain caused by men's endless fears and worries,—and the constant jealousy, envy, bitterness, hate, greed and selfishness to which our present economic system of injustice and inequality constantly subjects the thoughts—and consequently the bodily functionings of men—it is not hard to understand the cause of most of mankind's physical ailments.

It is not difficult to envisage the early appearance of

In addition to the benefits just described, mankind's acceptance of our Research Department's recommendations will also make possible the priceless assurance of "ample leisure" for all. The only arbitrary work requirement, applying to all employees, will consist of a minimum working schedule of not less than 4 hours a day, 4 days each week, during 8 months of each year. At the conclusion of twenty (20) years an employee will be privileged to permanently retire from routine duties if he so desires and yet will receive his or her share of the Corporation's products, services, and benefits for the duration of his or her lifetime. However, all employees will be privileged to earn retirement within a period of only ten (10) years, provided they are willing to work 8 hours a day, 4 days

In addition to the previously mentioned pensions, there will also be provided a pension benefit consisting of an equal share of the Corporation's products and services for all men or women who are—or who may become—incapacitated and unable to work. Also similar pension benefits

Each employee of the Corporation will be allowed three (3) days each week, and four (4) entire months each year of vacation time. All workers will have their choice of receiving one month out of each three—two consecutive months out of each six—three consecutive months out of each nine—or a four (4) months' vacation at the conclusion of each eight (8) months of continuous work, in accordance with the daily and weekly schedules previously described.

All employees will be entitled to "free transportation" during vacations—(subject to reasonable rules and regulations)—to any part of the civilized world which is now or

For fear that men might travel and thereby learn of the world's inexhaustible resources,—and that the people of foreign nations are neither murderers nor enemies against whom we must defend ourselves by building vast armaments,—those in charge of the world's governments and its basic economic structure—("through their control of its resources")—have been able to guard against any great number of men or women ever being allowed the privilege of more than one or two weeks of leisure time—"or vacations with pay"—each year. AND THOSE WHO ARE NOW ALLOWED VACATIONS, HAVE USUALLY HAD THEIR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ENERGIES SO DEPLETED PRIOR THERETO, THAT

IF ALL PEOPLE WERE ASSURED OF ADEQUATE FINANCIAL INCOME, FREE EDUCATIONAL AND TRAVEL PRIVILEGES, TOGETHER WITH REGULAR PERIODS OF LEISURE, THERE WOULD ONLY BE A FEW OUT OF EACH THOUSAND OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION WHO WOULD NOT MAKE "CONSTRUCTIVE" AND

Through the construction of thousands of beautiful parks, athletic fields, playgrounds and recreation centers, limitless opportunities will be provided by the Corporation for the development of clean, wholesome and—consequently—"healthy" habits of thought and action.

We again repeat that if there were no other justification for the establishment of the Universal Service Corporation—recommended by our research department—than the influence which this feature of its program will have upon the formation of "much needed qualities of character," it would warrant the whole-hearted support and co-operation of every clean-thinking, intelligent man and woman in our world today.

Do you know of any "real" fundamental reason why men and women should not be allowed to use at least "one third" of each year to do with as they might desire? It is now possible for any one, if properly equipped with suitable machinery and mechanical appliances, to produce as much during a four-hour work day as our ancestors did by working sixteen hours or more per day. Then why do most people spend eleven and one-half months out of every twelve—and literally all of their daylight hours—working just for food, clothes, shelter and a possible two weeks’ vacation out of each year, which our present system of greed and selfishness generously (?) permits them to call their own? IS IT NOT BECAUSE THE MECHANICAL IMPROVEMENTS AND MARVELOUS INVENTIONS OF OUR GENERATION—WHICH SHOULD

Are we justified, however, in blaming the majority of people who take advantage of the world's competitive private profit system for their own personal gain, (and with but little—if any consideration for others,) when it is more than likely that many of those who read this book would gladly—"and quite naturally"—accept and fully enjoy an opportunity for the accumulation of a large amount of wealth themselves? No, we most certainly are not justified in blaming them unless we are willing to raise our voices in protest against an economic system which makes such injustices possible, and such exercise of greed seemingly necessary and desirable.

The privileges of greed and selfishness can no longer be allowed to exist, since they result in ninety-seven out of every one hundred inhabitants of our earth, being inevitably forced to go through life living solely for the purpose of providing "dissipations" or "excessive luxuries" for the other three inhabitants, who—as a result in the majority of instances—are turned into swinish, self-centered, dissipated, depraved human beings. . . . Poor abnormal—unbalanced mortals, who would be healthier, happier and much more satisfied with life, through much more

NEVER IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY HAS MAN HAD SO MANY MECHANICAL INVENTIONS AND FACILITIES, TOGETHER WITH SUCH LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR FINDING HAPPINESS. AUTOMOBILES, AIRPLANES, RADIO AND TELEVISION HAVE NOW MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR EACH MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE TO ENJOY THE RESOURCES AND BEAUTIES—NOT OF JUST ONE, BUT OF ALL THE WORLD'S NATIONS—AND TO CONSIDER NOT JUST ONE LOCALITY OR COMMUNITY AS HIS HOME, BUT THE "ENTIRE WORLD" WITH ALL THAT IS THEREIN AS "HIS GREAT ESTATE."

ARE WE GOING TO REMAIN IN BONDAGE TO A HANDFUL OF "DEPRAVED MANIACS," WHO THINK THEY HAVE BEEN "DIVINELY ORDAINED" TO OWN OUR WORLD AND DOMINATE ITS INHABITANTS? ARE WE GOING TO LET THEM STEAL THE FRUITAGE OF THE PAST THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HUMAN PROGRESS WITH ANOTHER OF THEIR DEMONIACALLY PLANNED DEVASTATING WARS, AND SUBMIT TO AN ERA OF UNCONTROLLABLE SLAUGHTER AND INDESCRIBABLE HORROR, MERELY TO SATISFY THEIR INSANE AMBITION TO "OWN THE EARTH" AND TO ENSLAVE ITS INHABITANTS?

The secret plans to bring about the overthrow of existing governments, and thereby more readily complete—(through the medium of Communism and Dictatorships)—the manufacture of the armaments and munitions of war which must be produced before the "Money Changers" can accomplish the consummation of their final plot, can only be thwarted by the co-operative and concerted "worldwide action" of not less than two hundred million (200,000,000) intelligent and unselfishly-motivated, courageous

ONLY BY THE INTERNATIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF A TYPE OF CURRENCY BASED UPON SOME MEDIUM OTHER THAN "GOLD OR SILVER," CAN THE WEALTH AND CONSEQUENT POWER OF THE WORLD'S HIDDEN RULERS BE DESTROYED. AN ATTACK UPON A "WORLDWIDE" FRONT—(AND THROUGH THE AVENUE OF AN "ENTIRELY NEW TYPE OF MONEY" WHICH CAN ONLY BE USED BY THE PERSON TO WHOM IT HAS BEEN ISSUED)—CONSTITUTES "THE ONE AND ONLY METHOD" BY WHICH TO PREVENT A CIVILIZATION-DESTROYING WAR.

With the establishment of a Universal Service Corporation which would have a strong enough membership to issue its own money, not only could all of the world's trained workers—who are now unemployed—be put to work within less than ninety days after the formation of such a corporation, but also the absolute and complete control of the principal food supplies of the earth could likewise be readily obtained by the Corporation through the influence of the vast combined buying power of its world-wide owners. With that accomplished, a new form of money could be immediately adopted which would soon make it impossible for the "Money Changers" or their "satellites"

Previous to this simultaneous destruction of the world's entire armaments and munitions of warfare, and the disbanding of its armies and navies, the Corporation's owners—together with the citizens of the various nations—will have voted the establishment of a world-wide militia with which to maintain law and order, and with which to permanently prevent either revolutions or wars from ever again occurring on our earth. These military police reserves will supplement the then normal but constantly "diminishing" activities of national and local police forces.

For a few years to come, "gold, silver and jewels" will retain a "vanity" and "artistic" value, also perhaps a "sentimental" and "souvenir" value;—but all of which will constantly diminish:—In fact, much more rapidly than one may imagine, once gold and silver are disassociated from

TO PERSONS READILY BEGUILED, THE COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA SUGGESTS THAT COMMUNISM IF ADOPTED WILL ELIMINATE CRIME. COMMUNISM IN RUSSIA HAS THUS FAR ELIMINATED RELIGION, MORALS AND THE SANCTITY OF MARITAL VOWS, BUT HAS YET TO DEMONSTRATE ANY APPRECIABLE CAPACITY TO ELIMINATE EITHER BRUTALITY, SELFISHNESS OR DISHONESTY.

NO, THERE WILL BE NO REWARD FOR CRIME IN ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF WHICH THE WORLD WILL BE INFORMED DURING OUR INSTITUTE'S INTERNATIONAL 30-DAY PROGRAM,—FOR A CRIMINAL WILL NEITHER BE ABLE TO SELL HIS STOLEN GOODS NOR TO BUY EVEN FOOD WITH MONEY STOLEN FROM ANOTHER,—AND WHICH HAS BEEN ISSUED TO—"AND CAN ONLY BE SPENT BY"—SUCH A ONE.

IF THE CONCEPT OF HAVING THE WORLD'S "INTELLIGENTLY INDUSTRIOUS CITIZENS" ACQUIRE AND "COMPLETELY OWN" THE PRINCIPAL FOOD SUPPLIES AND OTHER RESOURCES OF OUR EARTH, SEEMS SOMEWHAT STARTLING TO YOUR THOUGHT, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU

Why shouldn't the class of people who have always done the world's work, those who have made its great discoveries, developed its marvelous inventions, established its educational and religious institutions, and have always been responsible for whatever progress the human race may have enjoyed throughout the centuries,—take full charge of the tools and supplies with which they have produced the countless thousands of useful or desirable products mankind have enjoyed? Since the warehouse from which the human family have drawn their raw materials for the production of these useful requirements of life,—(namely, the earth's raw materials and resources),—has had its doors closed and padlocked against them by the "greedy swinish qualities" of human thought possessed by a small group of people who have appointed themselves as "custodians of the key" to the inexhaustible resources within this warehouse, why shouldn't "those who mold and shape such materials for human use"—and "those for whom such products are prepared"—take charge of the "key" themselves, so that they can enter the warehouse at will and take out what the human family may need for its welfare or happiness?

THE "KEY" TO WHICH WE REFER, IS CALLED THE "OWNERSHIP" OR "CONTROL" OF PROPERTY, RAW MATERIALS, ETC: FOR COUNTLESS THOUSANDS OF YEARS THIS "KEY" HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELD BY EITHER ONE OR THE

The first group has consisted of those who have had the "gold and silver" with which to buy the ownership or title to such resources, after which they have usually stood guard over them like so many "dogs in a manger." Unable to use or sell even the smallest fractional part of the raw materials and resources which their century-old accumulations of gold and silver could purchase, they nevertheless have felt that since they owned the title,—(and had the money with which to coerce the various governments into creating laws and hiring soldiers to protect their title to such resources),—that there was no reason why they should let anyone else use them, unless the user first paid all of the profit to the title holder that he might desire to exact. These "world rulers" have stood idly by, with no other feelings than those of contemptuous amusement or an inflated concept of their own egotistical superiority, while tens of millions of other human beings die from starvation each year, and a majority of the remainder of the human race eke out an existence of privation and fear-filled years, century after century.

The second group,—which has occasionally throughout the past few thousand years succeeded in getting possession of the key—("Ownership")—to the earth's raw materials and resources,—has been, (not some branch of the "fabulously wealthy class") but instead, those of the world's most downtrodden and poverty-stricken "lower classes," who have become so filled with bitterness and hate over their needless privations, that they have risen

ALWAYS HAS THIS "MIDDLE CLASS" BEEN TOO "INDUSTRIOUSLY BUSY" PERFORMING LIFE'S CONSTRUCTIVE TASKS—AND TRYING TO BRING HAPPINESS TO THEIR FAMILIES—TO TAKE PART IN THE WORLD'S GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES.

The Sponsors of The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration believed that the "middle classes" of people (who have always constituted "the backbone of every nation") had been held in bondage throughout the centuries, primarily because of the fact that they had been "penny wise" and "pound foolish" in devoting their full time to performing the world's work, and in taking so little time for ascertaining the reasons for their ceaseless bondage to the endless hard laborious tasks which never seemed to get the majority of them beyond the point in life from whence they had started. Through this neglect—of their own basic best interests—the "middle class" inhabitants of our earth have repeatedly permitted the fruitage of their centuries of tireless efforts to be destroyed through revolutions and wars planned for the profit or advancement of either one or the other of the afore-mentioned "wealthy" or "poverty-stricken" groups.

Our Sponsors believe that the control—("ownership")—of the earth's resources,—in other words "the key" to

OUR RESEARCH DEPARTMENT STANDS READY TO PROVE THAT TWO HUNDRED MILLION (200,000,000) PEOPLE,—"ACTING SIMULTANEOUSLY" AS A GREAT WORLD-WIDE ORGANIZATION OF MEN AND WOMEN WILLING TO MEET ON THE COMMON GROUND OF THEIR DESIRE TO ENJOY "LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS," UNHAMPERED BY POVERTY, WAR OR RUMORS OF WAR,—CAN SUPPLY PERMANENT POSITIONS FOR ALL OF THE WORLD'S UNEMPLOYED—AS WELL AS FOR THEMSELVES—AND CAN, "WITHIN LESS THAN ONE YEAR," BRING ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A UNIVERSAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM WHICH WILL MAKE THE RECURRENCE ON OUR PLANET OF EITHER "WAR" OR "POVERTY"—AN UTTER IMPOSSIBILITY.
