skin their own countrymen, and sell them out to alien financiers. That is why you will find touts everywhere you go, drawing good money from the financiers, telling you — the people — that everything is all right.
 Now, you have either got to stand with the people or with the financiers. There is no other thing for you to do. There is no half-way thing about it.
 It is easy enough to learn which side you are on. You can tell whether your leader is for you or for the financiers. All you have to do is ask your leader, “Do you want to abolish interest?” If he says, “Oh, no, we must have interest or we’ll all starve,” you know he belongs to the financier, not the people. But if he says, “Sure, we want to abolish interest and get rid of the financiers,” you know he belongs to the people.
 A man can’t stand with the financiers to skin the people and still be with the people? So anybody who tells you it is all right to charge interest to the American people, belongs to the financiers, not to the people.
 When you, the American people, learn that, you will throw those touts off your backs just like the soldiers throw the cooties off their backs. You have got to get rid of them. They are eating you up alive. As long as you agree to their swindling game you are whipped.
 The Lawson Money Plan will give you a purchasing power equal to your productive power. That is square, isn’t it? You want what you earn, don’t you? Well, that’s what Direct Credits Society intends to give you. We don’t want to take what some other fellow earns and give it to you. We intend to let you have what you earn and what the other fellow earns, he keeps for himself. Isn’t that what you want? Well, that is what we intend to give you. That means justice for everybody that harms nobody and if you don’t stand for justice for every body then why should you squeal about justice for yourself? There is no such thing as justice unless everybody gets it.
 Your civilization is the most horrible thing that I can think of. It makes cheats out of the people. It makes liars out of the people. It makes kidnappers out of the people. It makes murderers out of the people. It makes dope fiends out of the people. It makes everything that is disreputable out of the people.
 The Direct Credits Society intends to remove such a terrible scourge from the human race by extirpating the cause that forces the people to do such horrible things just to get a living.
 When we obliterate the cause then you won’t have to cheat for a living; you won’t have to lie for a living; you won’t have to steal for a living; you won’t have to murder for a living; you won’t have to kidnap for a living; you won’t have to do anything for a living but give a little honest effort for it, that’s all.
 The alien swindlers who have gotten control of your money system won’t let you do that now. They lend U.S.A. money to Ame­r­ican manufacturers and force them to pay
