tion and double-cross workingmen into thinking that the factory owners cut their wages and control their purchasing power, They incite strikes against industries that they do not yet control, in order to weaken, ruin and force them into their power.
 Workingmen do not suspect that back of these organizations are agents of the financiers who lead them into ambush and have them shot down while aiding the demons who betray them in their efforts to put out of business the manufacturer who employs them.
 Laboring men don’t realize that their organizations are controlled by agents of the financiers. Neither do the manufacturers, merchants, publishers, farmers or soldiers know that their organizations are controlled by agents of the financiers. They must all wake up to this fact and get together to save themselves before it is too late. You will all be whipped unless you stop fighting among yourselves at the instigation of the agents and touts of the financiers.
 The Alien Financier’s touts have been hinting lately that what you need here in America is a Central Banking System, or, Nationalized Banking System, or whatever they may decide to call it. They of course pretend that it will be a Government owned institution, just as they pretended the Federal Reserve Banks were owned by the Go­vern­ment.
 But I am here to tell you that this Central Banking System will be owned and controlled by foreign private credit monopolies, as are the Federal Reserve Banks, and that it is just another trick of the Alien Financiers to skin the people further and close all banks controlled by Americans.
 Now let me tell you what it will mean to centralize the banks in the hands of the International Financiers.
 First, it will mean that all bankers in America will be reduced to the status of clerks.
 Second, it will mean that the chief of the Alien Financiers, who sits upon his financial throne in Europe will be in a position to decide whether any manufacturer, merchant, farmer or workingman in America can borrow money from any bank in this country or not.
 Third, by so controlling all credits in this country, the Alien Financiers can put out of business all American manufacturers, all American merchants and all American farmers, and force them to become mere clerks in their former establishments to take orders from half-witted sons of Alien Fi­nan­ciers. That will also stop all individual incentive of anyone from ever becoming the owner of a farm, store, factory or publishing house.
 Americans, are you not ashamed of yourselves to let a little bunch of Alien Slickers make you fight each other until you are all whipped out of your own property and then hand yourselves over as slaves to them?
 You can stop this idiotic procedure by studying the Lawson Money Plan and by joining the Direct Credits Society, and by
