vital importance in The Great Adventure program is that it
clearly sees the real cause of war and proposes to abolish war
by removing the cause. To abolish the privilege of holding land
idle will not only win the war against special privilege in
Europe, but all over the world -- for special privilege knows no
country or nationality. Like the pirates of old it flies the
black flag and is the people's enemy everywhere. We should
concentrate all our efforts on California now, where the
opportunity seems to favorble for success."
