Message of good wishes to be presented to the Anti-
Globalist Resistance conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At first, the wicked turn in U.S. politics which
has been led by the partnership of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and the
former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore does tend to spread pessimism in many
parts of the world. However, we must recognize, at the same time, that the
pro-globalization policies of the current U.S.-British alliance is an
absolutely unworkable program.
The present world monetary-financial system has
entered the terminal phase of an onrushing general breakdown crisis of that
system. In the meantime, we see that the Blair-Gore policy is being resisted
by a rising commitment to the immediate introduction of programs of
development of sources of power based on presently existing, improved
designs for nuclear power. In fact, there is no possibility of sustaining
civilization globally without this shift to a nuclear-fission and even more
advanced modes of generation and application of power.
In fact, it would be possible to escape from the
presently onrushing threat of a general monetary-financial breakdown
globally, through a return to the kinds of policies which U.S. President
Franklin Roosevelt had intended for the post-war world. A sudden and more or
less world-wide reform would be required for such a remedy, but this means
that the reform must be submitted by a concert of nations built up around
leading cooperation among the world's present leading nations: the U.S.A.,
Russia, China, and India. Without a concert of agreement represented by
these four crucial and other nations, the needed reform could not be
introduced in a timely fashion.
Therefore, the urgent task of the moment is to
build up a working agreement on the most crucial features of such a needed
reform. Knowledge of what that reform must include, is a precondition for
the will implement it.
Otherwise, the objective remains essentially that
which President Franklin Roosevelt had intended for the post-war world, had
he lived. We require a world composed of respectively sovereign
nation-states, united by an understanding of the essential cultural role of
the principle of national sovereignties, and the need for cooperation among
those nations on common goals and means for raising the level of existence
of all parts of the planet, each to contribute in its own way.
There is no guarantee that we will succeed in this,
but there is no moral choice for humanity today but to attempt to bring this
about. Our discussion of this challenge, and of the means of bringing this
change about, should be foremost on our agenda now.
