Our ancients spoke of mankind of one family. All great religions also have a vision of the brotherhood of man. In our own day, because of the growth of communications, millions have tangible proof of this Truth and the astronauts have seen our earth from after as small globe in limitless space.

If the world is One and mankind is One, it is our duty to ensure that the narrower loyalties of race, nationality and religion, into which birth or choice divides people, are not allowed to militate against the common franchise of humanity.

My good wishes for the success of the World Conference of the Unity of Man which is being held in Delhi.
