enforce the decision of the supreme court of mankind" (The Christian Commonwealth,

March 23, 1905).

We have traveled far since 1905, and the United States of Europe is being formed

before our very eyes. Two items of peculiar interest are OIL and THE SUEZ CANAL,

the oil fields of Iran and Iraq (Persia and Mesopotamia, so including Babylon) and the

canal which passes through Egypt. It may well be that a "corner" in oil and a command

of the Suez will make the rest of the world say of the last dictator "Who is able to make

war with him?"
