This deals with how they conduct a marriage of two people. One
person who they may talk about later is Monka. He is a very nice
person who operates on more than one planet. He communicates
quite a bit with the people who operated a group called "The Solar
Cross" in San Jose, Calif. He also operates out of a communication
center called KOR on one of these planets.
......................................................................
......................................................................
Going back into the ring shaped building, we emerged into what
were some of the chambers used for judging or administrative phases.
The g-vernment is of very simple form. I was amazed when told there
are no written laws. Each citizen lives under a simple understanding,
of unwritten code. It was a very reasonable fascimile, if not the
actual golden rule. In other words, do for others first. If a
person acts selfishly, or begins to steal or shows symptoms of anger,
he is considered ill and treatment is quickly administered.
Each five families have a group leader or "Icla," as he is called.
He represents this group and is responsible for their general
welfare. The judges or heads of different departments are chosen on
their merit and it is usually done through elimination, examinations
which require a lifetime of special training. There are no p-litical
systems. Brains and character alone determine a candidate's fitness
for an office. Male and female are regarded as equal and with no
discrimination shown. There are no old age institutions in these
Martian cities. Great respect is shown the aged and they live with
their children until the time of passing. No doubt the Chinese on
the earth brought this custom of respect and venerance down through
the ages from their Martian ancestors.
Passing along through a hallway, we again emerged into what I
immediately gathered to be a library. Here a number of persons were
busily engaged in sorting and caring for a large variety of books
(if they can be compared to ours). These were for the most part,
rather ancient scroll-like volumes, but there were others which
resembled somewhat our own bound volumes. I was told that this
library was kept mostly for research and for historical reasons, as
comparatively little reading or writing is down in our usual manner.
Most records are kept in memory machines or some other unfamiliar
electronic device. The alphabet consists of a number of cryptograms.
I did not linger long enough, however, to go into things of this
nature in detail. Another thing that did impress me was the wide
variety of pictures and objects of art which were everywhere.
These people are exceedingly artistic and almost everyone spends
some time at his particular chosen expression decorating screens,
ceramics, furniture, etc.; all were given some treatment whenever
opportunity presented. It was all in very good taste, however, and
most pleasing to the eye. These traits are quite evident in our
modern Chinese.
Going through several of these offices we again emerged into the
open air. Before us was one of the larger radial streets; coming
down this street was what looked like a silver gondola of some sort,
suspended from an overhead rail. going closer to examine this strange
craft, I found that it was about twenty feet long. It had six or
eight bucket-like seats. There is a rather elaborate system of
control used. All is done, of course, electronically. There is an
'eye' on each end to keep it spaced a reasonable distance from other
cars. Gyroscopes are used to prevent sway and it is powered by a
motor in each flanged wheel which rides a single rail, suspended at
short intervals by metal standards. These cars are stopped with a
single blast of a noiseless supersonic whistle and started after
the passengers sit down. A number of the main radial streets have
this monorail shuttle car system. Others used moving sidewalks,
somewhat similar to escalators.
Inside the tubes, which are the martian cities, are these little
shuttle cars, used for transportation.
At this point my inspection of these very interesting monorail
cars was interrupted by what appeared to be a gay group of people
going into one of the nearby homes. As they disappeared, laughing
and chatting through the doorway, I turned and looked inquiringly
at Nur El.
He smiled as he informed me there was a marriage going on. He
went on to explain that marriage is very sacred here; very rarely
is there a separation or d-vorce. As children, couples are selected
according to their mental quotient and their compatibility. Further
work in preparation is done until the time when they are actually
joined marriage, usually around the age of twelve or fifteen (as
compared to our years). These marriage ceremonies last for about
three days. The first day is spent in the exchanging of gifts
between the respective families. The second day is devoted to mind
projection and various semi-secret preparations.
The whole affair climaxes on the evening of the third day with a
banquet.
Sitting on opposite sides of a long low table, the close relatives
of the bride and groom eat a silent meal, not glancing up or
looking across the table during the entire time. This silence is
broken by the two fathers, or in the case of their absence, the
mothers can substitute by the sharing of a cup made from the juices
of certain fruits. After this, the cup is passed around and the
whole thing ends up with several hours of merrymaking. Then a
parade takes the newlyweds to their new home.
But to return to the subject of transportation. It seems that
these people do not travel much, as compared to our earth people.
There is, of course, considerable inter-city travel over the
monorail car system which I saw in the tube. There is however, a
kind of communication which renders a great deal of travel
unnecessary. This is a form of telephone, or teleview as it could
more properly be called.
Besides conversing, each party can see the other one through a
small screen similar to our television. This of course, can be shut
off by manipulating a button, in the event there is a need for
privacy. Speaking of television, their system is far more advanced
than ours; the screen is built into the wall of the room and is
about four by five foot square. All programs are in three
dimensional color, very lifelike and natural. Such programs are, of
course, the very highest type. As there is only one channel to a
city, all program material is produced and telecast by the people
themselves, since there is no advertising or s-x intimations but
only such things as the festivals, lectures, various stage
presentations or musicals which take place in the central theater.
Little or no news is broadcast and then only that which is of a
nature which would not cause fear or restlessness.
Music plays an important part in life here. Most of the
instruments are of the string type and are usually plucked. There
are some reed or flutelike instruments which help give variety.
There are none of the heavy percussive type which form a large
part of our modern orchestras. the music itself is, for the most
part, a quaint sing-song-like rhythm or chant which usually
depicts some story or moral lesson; or even historical events are
portrayed. Considerable color is used in the stage presentations,
which gives much added charm as the innumerable color combinations
rise and fall with the rhythm of the chant.
Since my initial trip, I have returned to Mars several times and
have learned much more about this fascinating civilization. To
those who are proponents and ardent supporters of our free
enterprise system, let it be said that they have a great shock
coming to them. On Mars there is no dog-eat-dog competition such as
we, on earth, are so familiar with. Everyone works for the
go-ernment because the gov-rnment is the people! This highly
developed s-cialistic system is not to be confused with any
so-called c-mmunistic gov-rnments on earth. The Martians never break
laws, consequently there are no laws. They have long ago eliminated
legislative bodies. How different here! We have a huge and vast
intricate network of legislative bodies, as well as various branches
of law e-forcement. The average American has many thousands of laws
to obey. The great majority of the people either knowingly or
unknowingly are breaking laws. As fast as a way is found to
circumvent one law, a new one is passed to prevent this! The modern
Chinese have placed a great deal of personal value on face; they
would rather d-e than lose face. This sense of personal integrity
was brought down through the ages from their Martian ancestors. The
average Martian has an advanced state of conscious personal
integrity. This eliminates the ponderous and very expensive system
of govern-ent to which we are accustomed. There is in consequence
a vastly simplified way of life. There are no t-xes, as this land
is run like a highly ordered non-profit business. The various
departmental or executive heads are all highly trained specialists
and hold their positions because of ability and integrity.

This shows about their employment and uninployment.
.....................................................................
.....................................................................
Another thing which some earth people would miss on Mars is money.
They actually use no money. Therefore there is no banking system.
The citizen of Mars is, in a sense, his own bank and his medium of
exchange is his honesty (his credit). Everyone works. There are no
loafers or unemployed. They all take great pride in their vocation.
Work is not done for personal gain or selfish reasons.
There is on Mars no sense of insecurity for all are provided for
including the aged and the incompetent. A working person is provided
with a metal plate whereon are stamped his (or her) name and an
identifying number. This plate is used in the large automat-like
dispensers which I was shown on the lower floor level. When a person
desires food, clothing, or whatever the need, he merely inserts this
charge-a-plate (if I can call it such) and withdraws it, along with
the article. As he is a very honest person, he never gets more than
he needs or is entitled to. This is done strictly on his own personal
sense of honor and integrity. As he has no sense of insecurity, he
never hoards or takes more than he requires. We can imagine what
would happen if our great hordes of dishonest, grasping, selfish
people were turned loose in the Martian cities!
There are none of the conveyor belt-line techniques that we use
here, although they are very advanced in science, electronics and
machinery; yet there are a great many hand-made products. They
realize that a vast productive system would only defeat their way
of life. The more a man works the more he can take home, so if a
machine takes his place, he has nothing! An article is valued only
for its usefulness and not for the profit it might bring. There is
some semi-private enterprise.
In case a person makes some product in his spare time, he may open
a booth where it is displayed. All such enterprises operate on a
barter exchange system. As there are no profits, these private
exchanges consequently are not running in competition with any
other.
I have gone to some length in trying to point out and explain what
is very obviously a superior way of life. We Americans have for a
long time prided ourselves as having the best way of life on earth.
This is quite true as far as earth as concerned, but not in a broad
unlimited view. As Einstein once said, "we are never f-ols until
we quit seeking."
In our present democratic system (which is actually capitalistic),
we have long passed the point of diminishing returns. A government
should be of the people and we should not lose this goal in our
haste for profits. The average citizen of the earth has a state of
existence something like a whipped circus animal. Yes, it is quite
true that we have a higher level of life than many other countries,
but what a price we are paying for this! And couldn't we get
something better if we tried? But back to our Martian friends.
From childhood they are taught to be useful and productive.
Because of their simplified living habits, they have more time for
self-improvement and for developing new types of plastics, textiles,
etc. They usually limit their meals to only two a day and even
those are very simple, consisting primarily of vegetables and
fruits, with some synthetic foods. The Martians are not meat
eaters partly for the reason that animal life has largely passed
from existence on Mars, with the exception of mutants and the few
obscure species previously mentioned, and these are inedible. The
Martian has learned how to grow, and also to synthesize many
species and to produce artificially, many protein foods.
Many nuts (some of which look somewhat like peanuts) are raised.
A large nut similar to a pecan is grown on vines. There is a
vegetable something like a cross between cabbage and lettuce, the
leaves being three-fourth of an inch thick and about a foot wide!
It is light green in color and very nourishing. Another common
vegetable looks like our onion, but has large, flat, flared leaves.
The people produce artificial sunlight in huge tubes so they can
grow foods in their underground cities.
Space is not too plentiful. There are some dwarf trees, three to
four feet high with a fruit that looks like an orange but has meat
like that of an apple, is red skinned and sweet. It is called
sit-yu. Some other vegetables are grown in troughs in long rows.
These look like huge mushrooms and have a delicious meat.
Martians are closely connected with the Venusians through thought
transference or mental telepathy. At one time, interplanetary travel
was used, but these spacecraft are at present stored in huge
underground hangars, and are being held in readiness for any
emergency, such as a sudden mass evacuation of the population should
any unexpected need arise.
Yuzak explained that the science of interplanetary travel was
something very difficult for earth man to understand inasmuch as the
people and the craft itself would, in taking off, actually change
the rate of vibration of their own and the craft's atomic structure.
Thus they would in a sense become weightless and temporarily free
of various usual forces such as gravitation, inertia, etc. This is
something like pre-conditioning for fire-walking which is still
practiced in different parts of the globe.
My guide went on to explain that this science of changing the
atomic vibration rates is a very advanced one, and that if the
earthmen would learn this, it would remove all the present day
obstructions and barriers such as materials, fuel, pressures and
the hundreds of other hindrances to present day space travel. At
present their experiments have progressed to a point where a man's
body can be changed into electrical energies, sent over a radar
beam and then changed back to the original state; all in a matter
of a split second, and with no pain or discomfort to the
individual.
This no doubt sounds fantastic, but remember that this same thing
is being done here frequently, from the spirit side of life.
The memoirs of Sir William Crookes give an example of this in his
experience with Katy, who materialized after being "dead" for
several years. She was so real that he embraced and kissed her.
Afterward he said she was as real as his living wife! Nowadays it
is only the ignorant man who scoffs at any new ideas, and no doubt
there will be those who will be unable to believe these truths; but
it does not matter, since that still does not alter the facts. Just
fifty years ago they were laughing at the Wright brothers
