Mankind United: Chapter XVI. Bigoted Skepticism and Inevitable Extermination—Or—Intelligent Co-Operation And “Economic Equality” . . . Which Shall It Be?

BIGOTED SKEPTICISM

AND INEVITABLE EXTERMINATION

OR

INTELLIGENT CO-OPERATION

AND "ECONOMIC EQUALITY"

WHICH SHALL IT BE

?

We seek only the privilege of presenting, as a gift to the human race, the results of our sixty years of investigations, discoveries, and perfected inventions,—all of which have been carefully tested and their value fully proven during the past sixteen years of our Research Department's preparations for its world-wide 30-day proclamation.

Inasmuch as no group of less than two hundred million (200,000,000) clear-thinking and intelligently industrious men and women would have either the buying power or combined influence with which to act upon our recommendations, no further information than that which this book contains will be released to the public until after our Research Department has been assured by its co-workers in The International Legion of Vigilantes, that their Branch Registration Bureaus and 4-4-8-3-4 Clubs (hereinafter described) can guarantee the availability of such an audience.

WE SHALL GIVE NO DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITIES THROUGH WHICH OUR 30-DAY PROGRAM WILL BE IMPARTED TO OUR AUDIENCE, OTHER THAN TO STATE THAT THEY ARE "THOROUGHLY ADEQUATE" FOR THIS PURPOSE.

THE ONLY ASSISTANCE WE REQUEST IS YOUR GOOD WILL AND UNPREJUDICED AND OPEN THOUGHT, TOGETHER WITH YOUR COOPERATION IN PLACING A COPY OF THIS BOOK IN THE HANDS OF EACH MAN OR WOMAN WHOM YOU FEEL WOULD BE WILLING TO DO AN "EQUAL SHARE" OF THE WORLD'S WORK, AND RECEIVE AN "EQUAL SHARE" OF THE WORLD'S INDESCRIBABLY ABUNDANT RESOURCES IN PREFERENCE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES OF THE "EACH-WOLF-FOR-HIMSELF" PLAN, WHICH THE WORLD NOW CALLS ITS "PRIVATE-PROFIT SYSTEM."

Only those to whom either a direct invitation to receive our Research Department's 30-day program is—or

"Mankind United"—(which you are now reading)—and who have been sufficiently interested to acquire one or more copies thereof for circulation,—will be invited to receive or to vote upon our recommendations. In accordance with this ruling, a record of each person who is officially registered as above described, or who purchases copies of said bulletin, will be kept until such a time as 200,000,000 men and women have been so listed in The Institute's files. To facilitate the accomplishment of such a result, those who read "Mankind United" are invited to acquire copies thereof for circulation among their friends and acquaintances.

Although this book is, and will continue to be, published "exclusively" by The International Registration Bureau's Pacific Coast Division of North America, it will nevertheless, be circulated far and wide by numerous other branches of The Institute and their associate workers, throughout the civilized nations of our earth. Some single volumes may be read by as many as from fifty to one hundred people, and it is hoped that no volume will stop at just one reader. HOWEVER, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT NO COPY OF SAID BOOK BE PLACED IN THE HANDS OF ANYONE WHO WILL NOT AGREE TO TAKE THE TIME TO CAREFULLY READ IT WITHIN "THREE (3) DAYS" FROM THE DATE OF ITS

Due to the urgency of an early release of our 30-day proclamation, and the vital importance of "immediately"

In other words, eight million (8,000,000) men and women,—an average of one out of every twenty-five of those who will constitute our world-wide audience,—will be granted, as a reward for their assistance, a lifetime pension of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) per year, to take effect within six months from the date of the formation of the Universal Service Corporation, and the acceptance of its charter by not less than eighty (80%)

Unless mankind possess sufficient gratitude and appreciation for the efforts which will have thus been made, by at least 8,000,000 alert, clear-thinking people, to bring about the successful formation of the audience we require, and unless the members of said audience are willing to grant their consent to the lifetime pension rewards above described,—they would not deserve even the smallest part of the benefits which the successful establishment of the Universal Service Corporation will make available to them and their families, nor would they be given the privilege of receiving such benefits.

Considering the fact that each one of the men and women who thus assist in the formation of said audience, will be obliged to not only donate the time for keeping not less than twenty-five (25) copies of "Mankind United" in circulation, but will also be expected to spend the necessary time to maintain and register an accurate record of the names, addresses, vocations, or professions of the various people who purchase copies as a result thereof; AND CONSIDERING THE ALL-IMPORTANT FACT,

Inasmuch as the allocation of honorary pensions is entirely dependent upon the formation of The Universal Service Corporation, we believe that these 8,000,000 pension awards, herein described, should constitute but a very small part of the expression of gratitude mankind will owe to those who thus make possible the consummation of our program and the establishment of this great Service Corporation; therefore, a method has been adopted which will provide an immediate income—at this time—for the men and women who assist The International Registration Bureau in accomplishing this result.

Only those who place not less than four (4) of these books in circulation, through the Branch Registration Bureau noted on the last page of the copy first loaned to them,—will be eligible to form a branch of our International Registration Bureau, or be allowed to qualify for a position which will enable them to receive compensation for their services while helping us to form our world-wide

—and since they have the money, and therefore the influence, with which to force the production of the necessary armaments and munitions of war for the accomplishment of this result,—unless the world's "sane" and "right-thinking" inhabitants simultaneously organize in every major nation, and "immediately" establish their own business facilities and "a new type of money" to free them from their age-old bondage to the "war lords" and "money changers" of the

Our Research Department therefore feels justified in having adopted a plan for the promulgation of "Mankind United," which will compensate the men and women who co-operate with its International Registration Bureau in the formation of its requisite world-wide audience: a plan which will not only provide an "immediate income" for such co-workers, but will also supply an opportunity for earning the lifetime pension described herein.

To those who may be inclined to think that we should establish a lower selling price for these books,—(and absorb the difference in a price substantially below $2.50, by paying less compensation to the men and women who help us to circulate them,)—we request the privilege of bringing to their attention the fact that not only must these co-workers give generously of their time in exchange for the income which they will receive, but they must also

There will be many who will do no more than to glance hurriedly through the pages of "Mankind United," and thereafter feel qualified to pass a "profound judgment" of condemnation, upon the merits of a program which even the world's most "brilliant" economists will be wholly unable to "accurately" judge, until after they have seen the moving pictures and numerous authenticated reports and proofs which will be given to the world during our Research Department's 30-day program.

It will take real moral courage to circulate this book and to ignore the skepticism of the type of people who will first have to "actually hear" the deafening roar of hundreds of bomb-laden planes, and wake up in the dead of night with poisonous gases streaming into their rooms and—(like "white-hot coals")—eating out their lungs and tearing the flesh from their bones,—before they will believe that the world's governmental and financial structures are completely under the control of fabulously wealthy "moral idiots;"—or before they will believe that there are men who every second, of every hour, of every day and of every night, are forcing the production of vast quantities of such gases—and other "death dealing" elements—together with the necessary facilities for releasing them in the populated centers of the world;—men who have such world-wide influence, that they are actually paying for such things with

THE NEXT WAR WILL NOT BE FOUGHT ON BATTLEFIELDS IN SOME FOREIGN LAND. IT IS TO BE A WAR OF "EXTERMINATION"—NOT FOUGHT BY COURAGEOUS MEN ALONE BUT

YES, THERE WILL BE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT AWARE "OF THE TRUTH" OF THE STATEMENT—IN THE BOOK OF PROVERBS—WHICH WARNS US THAT "WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE PEOPLE PERISH,"—AND BECAUSE OF THE "BLINDNESS" OF SUCH PEOPLE, THEY WILL NOT REALIZE THAT THE FACULTY OF "THOUGHT" HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US NOT MERELY THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ENOUGH INTELLIGENCE WITH WHICH "TO GET THE FOOD—TO GET THE STRENGTH—TO GET MORE FOOD,"—BUT ALSO THAT WE MIGHT DEVELOP THE WISDOM NEEDED FOR OUR "SELF-PRESERVATION" AND "PROGRESS," THROUGH THE "USE"—AS WELL AS THE "DISCUSSION"—OF MIND'S LIMITLESS IDEAS OF VALUE.

OUR RESEARCH DEPARTMENT THEREFORE FEELS THAT BECAUSE OF SUCH QUALITIES OF APATHY–AND THE NUMEROUS FALSE CONCEPTS OF SECURITY UNDER WHICH MANY OF THE EARTH'S INHABITANTS ARE LABORING–THAT IT IS FULLY JUSTIFIED IN CHARGING A PRICE FOR THIS BOOK WHICH WILL ENABLE IT,

WE INVITE THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO READ "MANKIND UNITED," TO HELP US CIRCULATE IT AMONG THEIR MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES, BY GENEROUSLY COMPLYING WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED ON THE LAST PAGE HEREOF. WE EXTEND THIS INVITATION TO ALL WHO BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD HAS ENOUGH EXECUTIVES, TRAINED WORKERS, MECHANICAL INVENTIONS, UNDEVELOPED LANDS, AND THE RESOURCES WITH WHICH TO PERMANENTLY OVERCOME BOTH POVERTY AND WAR;—AND ENOUGH EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES TO QUICKLY HEAL MANKIND'S ILLITERACY, TOGETHER WITH THEIR RESULTANT SOUL-DESTROYING SUPERSTITIONS. ALL MEN AND WOMEN WHO POSSESS "INDEPENDENCE OF THOUGHT" AND A

ALTHOUGH—IF YOU SO DESIRE—BY COOPERATING WITH US, YOUR IMMEDIATE AS WELL AS YOUR FUTURE FINANCIAL REWARDS WILL BE GRATIFYINGLY SUBSTANTIAL, NEVERTHELESS, YOUR GREATEST AND MOST SATISFYING BLESSING WILL CONSIST OF THE GRATITUDE OF COUNTLESS GENERATIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS, WHO WILL NEVER CEASE TO BLESS YOUR COURAGEOUS GENEROSITY AND VISION.

Only those who are sufficiently interested in the program of The International Institute of Universal Research and Administration, to purchase at least one copy of this book—either for further study or for purposes of circulation in accordance with the instructions contained on the last page hereof—(or who have otherwise qualified as a member of our world-wide audience of 200,000,000 people)—will be notified of the date of our Research Department's 30-day program, or be permitted to vote upon its recommendations—and the charter of The Universal Service Corporation—at the conclusion of said program. For only those who have not only read—but who have also "carefully studied" the contents of this "Explanatory" bulletin, or our other officially released publications, will have had their thoughts adequately prepared to receive the thirty days of proclamations and recommendations which will at that time be put into the hands of our audience.
