"If we find that an occupation is a little too strenuous for one person, we divide it between two or more. Our machinery and inventions are used solely for the convenience of our workers--to make it easier, safer, and more comfortable for them. We would rather destroy and rebuild and improve this entire city than allow it to remain a jeopardy to even one person; whereas you Earth men are constantly threatened by the hazards of your daily existence. There are no sinecures among us; all of us are dependent on each other, but no individual is economically dependent on any one of us for necessities, luxuries or security. That kind of dependence is non-existent. "Your words, _money_, _investment_, _interest_, _cost_, _pay_, _price_, _salary_, _wages_, _taxes_, _debts_, _profits_, _rebates_, _charity_, _rich_, _poor_, _bankruptcy_, etc., are not in our vocabulary or our dictionary. "As part of our careful judgment and planning, we have made a strict enumeration of inhabitants of our globe, listing in detail sex, age, occupation, and daily births and deaths. Our census bureaus and other departments have developed techniques which enable them to give us complete, separate census lists and keep us informed daily as to the exact number of our living population, their ages, and their full requirements. "By preparing careful and detailed budgets for all necessities with generous allowances to cover all possible exigencies and by relying upon our knowledge of regulated scientific cultivation of industrial manufacturing concentration, of conservation and preservation, and of nearly perfect and unwasteful arteries of transportation and distribution, we have not only solved production and equalized distribution, but we have also succeeded in overcoming and proving your old law of supply and demand. A false principle founded mainly on your artificial manipulation of cornering your markets, partly due to your neglect of preparing and offsetting against potential calamitous weather losses of crops and other commodities. "In sciences and discoveries we are away far advanced of you Earthmen; and with all that we only scratched the crust surface of nature's infinite mysteries. Every once and a while we unravel new ones, making marvelous improved changes in our mode of life. For those of us who want an extended longevity our scientists expect soon to disclose a medium to lengthen our life span to 500 or 1000 years. "You have made great progress in your sciences, chemistry, physics, therapeutics, biology, mechanics, and others. "You also made great strides in your political sciences, in doing away with your titles, feudal lord systems, kings, and in your form of government; but you greatly, and criminally retrogress in your political economy.
