The greatest interest of my life is scientific and systematic world leadership for the benefit of all nations and all people. There are three systems of world order being placed before the human element for study acceptance and adoption. There is the present system of Nationalism which has proven to be entirely inadequate, this is the United Nations system which type of system has never endured in history, though it may lead to something more fundamental. there is also now in operation a fundamental movement for World Federation which would place the World Government on a basis resembling the present government of the United States. All must admit this to be an advantage but in our effort for improvement why not take the best the most simple the most scientific and the most economical avenue. | The greatest interest of my life is scientific and systematic world leadership for the benefit of all nations and all people.
