In this case we would be attempting to unite peoples who do not understand even how their new fellow citizens begin to think. We would join democracies with dictatorships. Moslem states with Christian states. the Brahmin with the Rotarian. men who speak only Japanese with men who speak only English. We would attempt to unite the most highly civilized with the Aborigines. workmen who earn $20 a. day with coolies who earn 20 cents a day. The difficulty of holding together such a tower of Babel under one direct government would -be insuperable. The moment a law was passed against the will of one of the large nations. that tower of Babel would fall to pieces.
