New World Order
A magazine published in London by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the British Isles. First called The New World Order when published in 1938, it changed to just New World Order by volume 3 in the spring of 1943.
Although the intention was to bring out one issue per month, the onset of World War II made this difficult. Vol. 1 has 12 issues and goes from December 1938 to February 1940. As explained at the end of vol. 1, the war made them reduce the size of each issue from 8 pages to 4, but he price was also dropped from 3d to 1d. Vol. 2 has 12 issues of 4 pages each and goes from March 1940 to July 1941. Appended to the end is what appears to be a special issues, intended as a presentation issue. From Vol. 3, it became a quarterly publication and eventually expanded to 12 pages.
The issues include articles by British Bahá'ís such as Hasan Balyuzi, George Townshend, David Hofman, Richard St Barbe Baker, Beatrice Irwin and Philip Hainsworth. There are also poems by George Townshend and Elsie Cranmer.
