HONOURS FOR SUBMARINE COMMANDER AND HIS CREW
CALL FOR REVOLUTION
FORGE A NEW ORDER, SAYS H. G. WELLS
“FORGE a New World Order by World Revolution-or perish amidst the spreading chaos.”
a
That is Mr. H, G. Wells' message to the peoples in his book, "The New World Order," published by and Warburg (6s.).
Secker
Five times in this exposition of Wells' Peace Aims he drives home that thrust- unless we all face up to, and conquer, the task of world remodelling, we shall face extinction.
If we win then there will stand for the future a world of free men and unassailable happiness. But the task must be tackled immediately.
Ten-Point Declaration Already Mr. Wells has presented, to the world a draft of his "Declara-, tion of the Rights of Man" (It ap-i peared in the News Chronicle on October 28). Around that 10-point declaration is Wells' conception of his New World Order formed,
He has no "War Aima" for the Allies, only "Pence
Aims,"
which do
not stop at the mere making of peace, but jump off from that attainment to inflame the whole globe in the effortl
to realise his great plan.
His Definition
This sew and complete Revolu- tion can be defined in a very few) words," he writes. "It is:
world-Socialism,{
planned
"(a). Outright
scientifically directed,
plus
anci
"(b) A sustained insistence upon)
law, law based on a fuller, more jealously conceived resintement of the personal Rights of Man, plus.
freedom of
"(c) The completest
speech, criticism and publica- tion and a sedulous expansion of the educational organisation to meet the evergrowing de- mands of the new order. Put- ting it at its compactest, it in the triangle of Socialism, Law und Knowledge which frames the Revolution which may yet "save-the-world."
No More Versailles
To this end, Wells advocated a great, world debate which must go on now, debate of all the people. He thinks! that it is incredibly foolish to talk of ending the war and then having al World Conference to mugurate a new ago,
"So soon the fighting stops the real world conference, the live dis- cussion, will stop too. The diplomats and politicians will assemble with an air of profound competence and close the doors upon the outer world and resume-Versailles,"
Abolition Of Distanco The present war does not touch- upon the essential problem (the aboli- tlon of distance), thinks Mr. Wells.
"It may indeed destroy everything and still settle nothing. If one could wipe out all' the issues of the present conflict we should still be confronted with the essential riddle, which is the abolition of the boundaries of montį existing sovereign States and their) merger in some larger Pax....f Treaties
and
mutual guarantees are not enough."
To achieve his ideal state of world collectivisation after the peoples have ngreed to tackle the problem, he sug gests a confession of universal wrong- thinking and
sint and wrong-doing.
to
A revolution-an effort at social and political readjustment-ls bound come in Germany, Britain, univer- sally, n likely off-shoot of the "exas- perating diminuendos and crescendos of the war."
It is on the tide of the revolution! that Mr. Wells expects victory for his New World Order to travel.
'I Am Human Being,'
Says Judge
A 31-year-old woman accused of bigamy, at Cardin Assizes, was told by Mr. Justice Hawke:
"I suppose I ought not to say that D man and woman not married, ought to go on living together, but I am a human being and, I think it is the best thing for you."
The woman, Doris Smith, had ad- mitted bigamously marrying Thomas Smith, aged 45, a fireman.
Both were sentenced to two days' Imprisonment.

Swastika Is
Death Symbol
Germany is not the only country which has the swastika (or Maken- kreuz) as a national emblem. It appears as an identifletion mark on the planes of three nations Germany, Finland
and Latvia- though with certain distinctions.
The German 19kenkreuz, which was adopted us a national and anti- Semitic symbol by the Nazi l'arly in its early days, is black within a white

Formerly the swastika was used as n decorative symbol in the design for the cover of, Mesars. Macmillan's edi- tions of Rudyard Kipling's books.
It appeared on the "spine" and front of the editions printed in 1924, but after Hitler's rise to power the design was removed at the request of the author,

Ancient Indian Name
It is one of the oldest, known amu- letic signs, and is generally believed to have been invented by the primi tive Aryans hence its adoption by the Nazis.
Swastika is the ancient Indian Bame which, according to philologists incans "fortunate" or "lucky."
Some of the early Christian mystics saw in the two lines at right angles a symbol of Christ as a corner-stone, and architects and designers of the Middle Ages used the sign freely in their reliefs and patterns.
