Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
"Brothers and Sisters of the United World:
"The terms laid down in this book are the terms of peace that I offer
you. I am going to offer you peace on the same terms that Jesus would
give you. The United States has always stood for liberty and as the
land of liberty it must set an example of peace and brotherly love to
the world as it has always done before. This country has never engaged
in a war for personal gain. In the great World War, we refused to
accept any indemnities. We made the fight for a principle, not for
money or territory.
"Now the United States will make no demand upon any nation. There is
no longer to be different nations of the world, but the United Kingdom
of the World. The United States is to dictate peace to the world on
the terms of brotherly love. We will take no territory nor demand any
indemnity. We will retain the gold supply of the world but will follow
the admonition of Jesus Christ when he said 'Feed my Lambs.' We will
lend a helping hand to any nation that needs it. You are to return to
your homes and loved ones and tell them that the spirit of God, which
is all-powerful and able to destroy, is ever merciful and just and
has spared your lives and liberty. We refuse to take your money or
territory and in return only ask and demand that you do unto others as
you would have them do unto you and as we have done unto you.
"Remember that Old Glory has never trailed the dust and she never
will, because the God of the universe did not create this nation for
any or all nations to destroy. He has placed the great power in the
hands of those who would use it only in defense of right and not for
selfish gain. When I am ready, I can touch a button and your great
airships which are now held captive may proceed safely home and when
you go, may you follow in the footsteps of Him who created the earth
and who has saved you, and may you give reverence and praise to Him
who is able to destroy not only property, but both soul and body. When
the final articles are drawn and the territory of the United States is
divided and allotted according to the plan laid down by Ezekiel and
according to science, we will so direct that each of you can live in
peace and harmony and according to the law.
"I demand that the terms of peace be signed by women as well as men.
They are more just and merciful and will rule the country in the
future. If women must continue to be the mothers of our men, they must
have the right to decide whether their sons shall be sent to war or
not. It will take time to arrange the plans for cities and countries
as outlined by Ezekiel and I expect that the terms will be acceptable
and signed by the good women of every nation.
