"And how about the countries that barred their frontiers, when these people, for 10 full years, before and during the war, were trying to escape from doom? Ships full of them floated like flying Dutchmen in an oceanic void, and no harbor would receive them.
"The guilt lies also with those who actively collaborated with the crimes without endorsing them, washing their hands of blood and publicly whitewashing the criminals.
"Every individual bears a responsibility for the whole of mankind. Human civilization is based on the recognition of that responsibility. The moment anyone denies this responsibility he makes himself an accomplice of humanity's crimes."[41]
"We can't lull ourself to the idea that we now are immune from subversive order. We cannot feel sure and depend upon it that we are safe anywhere from money, wealth, and power grasping gangsters. Some of them get into high places of government. Germany was considered Christian, a highly educated, and cultured country; yet a gang of berserk criminals calling themselves supermen banded together to control the government, first taking the property and wealth away from their defenseless innocent Jewish minority and killing them, then subjugating their supine people. Other despotic gangsters with their strong-arm torturing secret gangster police are now in control of governments of some of our nations and are holding its peoples in bondage, and in forced slave labor. The perfidy and hypocrisy of those in government power of some of our nations has become so aggravated, that humane benevolence, and justice have become a sham and completely vanished.
"With our new death-dealing, destructive armaments and our annihilating atomic power, how can we tell when some cruel gang dictatorship government may enslave us, our children, and our coming generations? Our people who may read this, what assurance and security have they that a similar sinister, or worse fate and calamity will not befall them, and maybe sooner than they expect? It happened and is now occurring in certain countries of our world, we have many subversives who eagerly are waiting for the opportunity to overthrow, head, and control our government.
"Since you brought us to your planet, we have been pleasantly amazed by your wonderful way of life, which we have seen, closely observed, and studied from all its angles. We now have learned, and know the real cause of our earth's misruled moneyism life system.
"Now, gentlemen, we have given you a summary of our earth troubles and showed you their causes and abuses. I am sure no one can dispute the facts. I hope they are convincing enough.
"There is no need for me to emphasize, and I agree with Sun-Rank Banard, that our money, and exploitation systems are the real, contributive motives of our ills. They are festering cancers, eating away the vitals of the civilization we are vainly trying to build. I want to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to tell you what I have seen, hoping that you Martians will help save us from the miserable life condition on our earth."
All Martians present were unnerved and some in tears, and in a state of stupefaction. At the finish of the banquet they all greeted us in a most friendly manner.
Sun-Rank Banard, approaching me, said, "One of our inter-planetary airships is ready to take you back to your planet Earth. We all here wish you Bon Voyage and good luck, and just signal us by wishing, whenever you want to return here, and we will be glad to bring you back again."
