The construction of Mars' gigantic Canal system, planetary in
its extent, might seem to your Earth people an impossible task.
And it might prove so to your Earth dwellers should you undertake
a similar project in the ages to come when your seas dry up,
though it must be remembered that gravity on Mars, compared with
your Earth, is as 38 to 100. Excavations of large waterways
then becomes a comparatively easy task. We have no high
mountains on Mars; in fact, none exceeding 3,000 feet in
altitude.

Owing to the difference in gravity the angle of repose on Mars
is nearly acute as against 45 degrees on your Earth, which
permits of almost perpendicular walls to the canals and lessens
the danger of landslides and cave-ins. But above all, the
biggest advantage enjoyed by us in the construction of large
public enterprises, such as are embraced by our Canal system, is
the solidarity and unity of purpose on the part of the Martian
people. As Love rules our planet no internal dissension or
public misunderstanding exists among its people to retard any
undertaking that is necessary for the good of all.

It is lamentable that the dwellers on your Earth are divided
against one another. Not only are your false ideals of racial,
sociological and religious distinctions a bar to your Spiritual
and material progress, but your political and economic falsities
are as millstones around your necks, which will ultimately lead
you to destruction unless you, as a people, retrace your steps
and go back to the pathway pointed out by Christ the Master 2,000
years ago, when He came to your Earth with a message from the
