Show H. G. WELLS H AS UTOPIAN PLAN If World Historian Were World Dictator, He'd Abolish War. LONDON, Sept. 29. U'.P) If H. G. Wells, world historian, were made a world dictator, he would abolish war, write down debts, and make the world "Internationally n inded and ruled." He assumed a mythical "world dictatorship" in an international radio broadcast last night and answered an-swered the question, "What would you do with the world?" A dictatorship of common nensc, Wells said, might some day rule the earth. In little more than 20 minutes Wells told how he would run the world, if he were dictator, for the j next 20 years. He charged that j anyone who did not have an answer for the question, "What would you want to be done with the world?" had no right to vote, much less take any more important part in public affairs. As ruler of the world, Wells would abolish war by reducing ermed forces to dimensions of a world police and pooling all foreign offices; create a world economic council, as well as a peace council, and permanent disarmament com- I mittee, and reorganize production and distribution on a 20-year plan; declare the world bankrupt and "write down debts"; establish a single world currency; and insure ccntinuation of the fruits of his 20 year reign by reorganization of the world's educational systems. |
