The Great Peace towards which people of good will throughout
the centuries have inclined their hearts, of which seers and
poets for countless generations have expressed their vision, and
for which from age to age the sacred scriptures of mankind have
constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach
of the nations. For the first time in history it is possible for
everyone to view the entire planet, with all its myriad diversified
peoples, in one perspective. World peace is not only possible but
inevitable. It is the next stage in the evolution of this planet—in
the words of one great thinker, “the planetization of mankind”.
