1. GC: You will give at this time a comprehensive discussion of how the people of the United States can best contribute to the spiritual development and progress of the world, answering first the question, "Through what measures and by what definite plans can we meet our own difficulties?" and second, "What definite programs should our nation sponsor to promote greater international harmony and peace?" Please present this in such a form that it will be of help and interest to the average reader and may be presented for publication to some periodical from the Norfolk Study Group #1. You will answer the questions which will be asked concerning this.

2. EC: Yes. As we find - while this is very poorly stated, to obtain any comprehensive outline, for it's stated backwards:

3. In considering conditions as they exist, and considering as to what individuals may do, and how the government should foster this or that movement, for a greater understanding, it is well that this be considered from the standpoint of what the Group represents first in the lives of individuals, and in the lives of groups, or masses, or classes.

4. Then to consider, too, as to the form of government and the policies of those who formed same, and how the people in their various walks of life have adhered to them, or how those principles have been fostered or furthered in their application in government towards the lives of the government's constituents.

5. When this, then, has been - or may be - presented from THIS angle, or view, then there may be given that of a definite nature as to what the group - as individuals, and as a group - may present as some form of application in the experience of individuals, groups, or masses, for consideration by those who are in authority.

6. For, as He has given, consider those in authority; for the powers that be are ordained from on High.
