rule.
History, stripped Of It's details such as battles, travels in cycles.
Each cycle is the rise and fall of a race.
Do you realize that the white race has held military rulership Of
the earth for only three centuries9
Thirteen hundred years ago, the Arabs were the ruling power.
.Bagdad then was as big as modern Chicago.
Seven hundred years ago, Chinese armies destroyed Bagdad and
conquered most of Europe.
The wheel has made nearly IA complete revolution. The Orient
again rises to challenge the white man. The challenge is economic,
a matter Of trade, rather than military force.
In competing with its new yellow rival. the white race will find
that the Orents chief weapons are hard work and cheap labor Both
of these result from overpopuauon.
The Orient, TOO, has a different philosophy which the white man
must fathom.
The white man is philosophical He watches the parade go by,
