AUSTRALIAN SAVANT'S
PREDICTIONS
Civilisation in the western world is doomed.
It is doomed by the mad lust for power of the dictators of Europe, men whose emotional characters are not developed beyond the age of aggresive boys 14 years old. Civilisation will move westwards, first to the eastern coast of the United States, thence to the Pacific coast.
When that time comes, the nations whose shores border the Pacific will take on a richer and more significant domination of affairs. The peoples of Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand and California are destined to be the spiritual, mental and physical leaders of the world. ·
