Strongly urge intending pioneers to scatter as widely as possible, settle
even territories, islands not specifically assigned to United States.
Prompt opening of virgin territories is highly meritorious, extremely
urgent, vital prerequisite to insure triumphant conclusion of opening
phase of Global Crusade, prerogative of chief executors of 'Abdu'l-Baha's
Plan. May enrolled pioneers arise and confirm primacy of American Baha'i
Community playing preponderating role in initial stage of spiritual
conquest of unopened territories and islands of the planet.
