ABSTRACT
T hat, one day, the great revolution will come to an end and will give birth to a universal world order is inevitable. Upon closer inspection, no other alternative except an absurd one is left to man. Yet, while mankind stands on the threshold of a new age and the great organism is about to mutate, more is at stake than survival. It is on this question that the best and the wisest among us divide. To be sure, the craven will settle for safety at any price; the opportunist will back the winner. It is not easy for the wisest and the best to stand fast among the stampeding mob, to resist the temptation to be not only wise and good but also expedient and smart. Barring the absurd alternative, the great revolution should come to an end and issue into a universal state within about fifty years. It would be unlikely that the government of this universal state could be brought to fall by an internal revolution, for it will hold the monopoly of military power. Armed with all the devices for destruction and for population control which science and technology can supply, the universal state will maintain for 269a long time, if not forever, the political institutions with which it was endowed at its birth.
