Abstract: A short time before the outbreak of the present Great War, the first vol ume of a World Centre of Communication was published with the sincere desire of laying down a definite plan and practical solution for facilitating friendly relations between countries, and was presented to the Rulers, Parliaments, leading Libraries and Universities of the world, and to a few spe cially distinguished individuals, internationally known to have contributed by their broad views and sympathies to the general welfare and fundamental structure of international life. This volume, besides illustrating the development of city planning from prehistoric times to the present, contained the practical working plans, scientifically carried out in detail, for a World Centre City -to serve as a covenant between peoples -in which to unite and house the most essential international interests known definitely to be useful and necessary to all Nations alike, and which, from all indications, must by force of circumstances logically develop into a harmonious form of organisation.
