On the first stage, savage actors in crude surroundings are engaged in a brutal combat for the possession of life's bare necessities. Although the actors on the second stage are diiferent, and their costumes more elaborate, their actions are the same. The next stage is on a much higher level of material advance, but primitive animal instincts still dominate the players' actions. The fourth stage is set with modern scenery, actors control the struggle from remote corners of the stage, while go-betweens flatter, curse, deceive, and deal with each other. Soon the curtain will go up on the fifth stage of the drama. We are both the playwrights and the actors. Shall we be bound to a blind repetition of the past? Or shall we divert the theme from ultimate tragedy to permanent peace and prosperity? We, the world citizens of tomorrow, hold the answer within our grasp.
