European countries and have put in their own dictators with military equipment to subdue and degenerate their human beings into illiter­ate automatons with less intelligence than the beasts of the field.
    Their method of operation in order to subject the people to their tyrannical treatment is to get them to quarrel among themselves over all sorts of imaginary grievances and then fight each other like savage bulldogs in a pit.
    They gain control of all avenues of publicity and then educate the people to quarrel and mur­der each other over religion, politics, race questions and personalities until confusion and anarchy reigns supreme.
    This sad state of affairs is brought about by the hired touts of the swindlers who are put into the key positions of organizations and keep those within as well as those without in a con­tin­ual state of disorder.
    They make Labor think that Capital is their enemy and they make Capital think that Labor is their enemy. Then after setting them to fighting each other until both are exhausted they take control and ownership of the Capita­list's property and reduce the Laborer's earn­ing and purchasing power to the starving point. So they make Labor whip Capital and Capital whip Labor.
    Then they organize separate Labor associa­tions with different methods of procedure to quarrel and fight over trivial matters and whip themselves.
    They then throw out of employment millions of working people and keep them begging for jobs as a menace to such workmen as they choose to employ. In this way they force those that are working to be thankful and grateful for whatever bones they may permit them to gnaw upon. These bones only last for a short time, however, as those with jobs are constant­ly being displaced by younger and stronger workmen who in turn are displaced by young­er and

stronger contestants for the jobs.
    Whenever any concerted action is contem­plated by any number of workmen against the horrible state of affairs conducted by the fi­nancial masters then one Labor organization is set to fighting another Labor organization until both are thoroughly exhausted and subdued.
    It is the ultimate plan of the financiers to take over the control of all means of transpor­tation and of all retail stores. This will give them control of the sale and distribution of all products and thus force out of business inde­pendent man­u­facturers who will thereby have no market for the sale of their wares.
    After the financiers have eliminated all re­tail merchants and independent manufactur­ers they will then be in a position to not only decide upon the Laborers' wages but will also be in a position to make everybody pay what­ever prices they might like to set upon all products bought by the people at large.
    The financiers use the Politicians as Goats. They force them to do their bidding and then double-cross them afterward. They force the Politicians to make laws to tax the people out­rageously and then in their controlled newspa­pers, magazines, pictures, radio and colleges they roast them unmercifully as being the cause of all of the people's troubles. They nev­er mention, how­ever, that most of the taxes go to meet the tribute on money and credit that the financiers force the people to pay through heavy interest charges.
    Their final object, of course, is to eliminate all politicians and substitute a Dictatorship in their places. In order to facilitate such a movement and be able to get rid of the Politicians easily they turn the people against them by condemnation proceedings through their dif­ferent avenues of publicity. They expect, there­fore, that an aroused public will extirpate the politicians whenever they are ready for the obsequies.
    So, as they make the Politicians whip the peo-
