ems: until now all proposed solutions have proved
impracticable except the economic proposals in the teachings of
Baha'u'llah which are practicable and cause no distress to society.

So with the other parties: when ye look deeply into this matter, ye will
discover that the highest aims of those parties are found in the teachings
of Baha'u'llah. These teachings constitute the all-inclusive power among
all men and are practicable. But there are some teachings of the past,
such as those of the Torah, which cannot be carried out at the present
day. It is the same with the other religions and the tenets of the various
sects and the different parties.

For example, the question of universal peace, about which Baha'u'llah says
that the Supreme Tribunal must be established: although the League of
Nations has been brought into existence, yet it is incapable of
establishing universal peace. But the Supreme Tribunal which Baha'u'llah
has described will fulfil this sacred task with the utmost might and
power. And His plan is this: that the national assemblies of each country
and nation--that is to say parliaments--should elect two or three persons
who are the choicest men of that nation, and are well informed concerning
international laws and the relations between governments and aware of the
essential needs of the world of humanity in this day. The number of these
representatives should be in proportion to the number of inhabitants of
that country. The election of these souls who are chosen by the national
assembly, that is, the parliament, must be confirmed by the upper house,
the congress and the cabinet and also by the president or monarch so these
persons may be the elected ones of all the nation and the government. From
among these people the members of the Supreme Tribunal will be elected,
and all mankind will thus have a share therein, for every one of these
delegates is fully representative of his nation. When the Supreme Tribunal
gives a ruling on any international question, either unanimously or by
majority rule, there will no longer be any pretext for the plaintiff or
ground of objection for the defendant. In case any of the governments or
nations, in the execution of the irrefutable decision of the Supreme
Tribunal, be negligent or dilatory, the rest of the nations will rise up
against it, because all the governments and nations of the world are the
supporters of this Supreme Tribunal. Consider what a firm foundation th
