Quote by H. G. Wells

“It [a new world order] needs only that the governments of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, and Russia should get together in order to set up an effective control of currency, credit, production, and distribution – that is to say, an effective ‘dictatorship of prosperity,’ for the whole world. The other sixty odd States would have to join in or accommodate themselves to the over-ruling decisions of these major Powers.”

Such a cult must direct itself particularly to the teaching of the young.”

They have never inquired how it is that opinion is made.”
