"Your five big nations have made an effort through their United Nations
assembly to remedy some of these situations. But the plan is too new.
The policy has not been definitely determined. To date there has been a
great deal of talk but little action. Selfishness in your human nature
here again deeply asserts itself, fifty-five of your nations laid down
conditions against aggressions, but when it came to fight it, only a
few joined to help, and only with small military tokens.
"I believe for their own safety, that your powerful, and influential
leaders and people of your nation should get together without delay,
and initiate a movement to help your government to start a broad,
liberal and humane living system experiment similar to our way of
life, in one of its least inhabited state, territory, or island, and
broadcast the fact to all the peoples of your world.
"That test with the promise that should it prove successful it will
gradually adopt it for your whole nation. This should create a salutary
effect on the peoples of your earth to counteract and turn them against
the cruel and corrupt principles in existence, and advocated by some of
your dictatorship government nations."
New Delhi, India, Dec. 26, 1950 (AP)--Prime Minister Nehru said today
the struggle between communism and democracy will be decided, not
on the field of battle. Nehru declared that in the final analysis
the people might discard both communism and democracy for some
"intermediary or other methods."
He added that the ultimate test lies, not in accumulation of a private
fortune, but in raising the standards of the people.[45]
"I leave it to your own good judgment to contrast our happy existence
with yours, where your moneyism causes and creates violent emotions and
convulsions in your political, social, economic, and religious life.
"It has impregnated in you an animal desire for selfish ownership,
greed and power, bringing on mass destruction and killing between
you. Since time immemorial you have without restraint constantly
intensified, and developed them."
"You are infiltrated and surrounded by fanatic enemy zealots. When some
of your own government officials traitorously betray your top secrets
to enemy nations."
"You are now in a critical period. Constant fear and apprehension are
beclouding all of you on your earth and at great speed and violence you
propel yourself to extinction. You are all sitting on an inferno. Can't
you read the handwriting on the wall?"
"You hide your head in the sand, like an ostrich, and refuse to face
the facts. But your situation is serious enough that you should by all
means be aware of the disaster that may overtake you.
"You are now in an Asiatic hot war, it may soon develop into a
sizzling one. Before the holocaust breaks loose, you can still save
the world by proving to suffering humanity that you are starting a new
social-economic movement experiment, for it's benefit.
