We ask God to endow human souls with justice so that they may be fair, and
may strive to provide for the comfort of all, that each member of humanity
may pass his life in the utmost comfort and welfare. Then this material
world will become the very paradise of the Kingdom, this elemental earth
will be in a heavenly state and all the servants of God will live in the
utmost joy, happiness and gladness. We must all strive and concentrate all
our thoughts in order that such happiness may accrue to the world of
humanity.
“THE QUESTION OF SOCIALIZATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT WILL NOT BE...”
The question of socialization is very important. It will not be solved by
strikes for wages. All the governments of the world must be united and
organize an assembly the members of which should be elected from the
parliaments and the nobles of the nations. These must plan with utmost
wisdom and power so that neither the capitalist suffer from enormous
losses nor the laborers become needy. In the utmost moderation they should
make the law; then announce to the public that the rights of the working
people are to be strongly preserved. Also the rights of the capitalists
are to be protected. When such a general plan is adopted by the will of
both sides, should a strike occur, all the governments of the world
collectively should resist it. Otherwise, the labor problem will lead to
much destruction, especially in Europe. Terrible things will take place.
For instance, the owners of properties, mines and factories should share
their incomes with their employees and give a fairly certain percentage of
their products to their workingmen in order that the employees may
receive, beside their wages, some of the general income of the factory so
that the employee may strive with his soul in the work.
No more trusts will remain in the future. The question of the trusts will
be wiped away entirely. Also, every factory that has ten thousand shares
will give two thousand shares of these ten thousand to its employees and
will write the shares in their names, so that they may have them, and the
rest will belong to the capitalists. Then at the end of the month or year
whatever they may earn after the expenses and wages are paid, according to
the number of shares, should be divided among both. In reality, so far
great injustice has befallen the common people. Laws must be made because
it is impossible for the laborers to be satisfied with the present system.
They will strike every month and every year. Finally, the capitalists will
lose. In ancient times a strike occurred among the Turkish soldiers. They
said to the government: “Our wages are very small and they should be
increased.” The government was forced to give them their demands. Shortly
afterwards they struck again. Finally all the incomes went to the pockets
of the soldiers to the extent that they killed the king, saying: “Why
didst thou not increase the income so that we might have received more?”
