VISION OF FUTURE

FOUR RULING NATIONS,

P ROF ESSO R- S PROPH EC V

LONDON, September !)

That four great nations —the Eng-lish-speaking people, the Latins, tin Teutons, and the Slavs—will in time control the uhole of America, Al'i.-a, Australia, Oceania, and Northern Asia wasopredicted by Professor Lutoslawski, profeissor of plvilosophy at the University of King Stefan Batoi'y in Wilno, Poland, in an address before the International Congress of Philosophy at Oxford. It mattered little, said the professor, whether Spanisli-America joined air Anglo-American or Latin union China and Japan were clearly predestined to form 'one great nation: the races of India another, and the third might grow around Palestine, Mesopotamia, Arabia, or Persia-. Turkey could not. lie in tlie way of these nations, as each needed vast territory for growth. Professor Lutoslawski predicted the abolition of taxes, because the voluntary contributions of patriotic citizens would fill tlie treasury. Armies would not be needed, ts the fulfilment of a mission of general welfare to man,k : nd excluded every ambition of. con-, quest. Crime would become veryrare. In legislative bodies- the num-beis j would be greatly reduced and much higher intelligence and character could be expected when many really well-paid, competent bureaucratswould replace U' c crowd of inefficembureaucrats.
