George, I think you will find that others had used New World Order before the Guardian popularised it amongst the Bahais, specifically HG Wells. The Baha'i version is "The New World Order of Baha'u'llah."

HG Wells book was published in January 1940, and 'The Goal of a New World Order', Shoghi Effendi's letter to the Baha'is, was dated 28 November 1931. The fact that is was nine years earlier is not really signficant. Anonymous is right, the signficant aspect here for Baha'is is that a "new world order" is enunciated by Baha'u'llah and outlined with great specificity. -gw
