tribute for the use of it. Then they force them to raise the prices of their products and cut down wages.
 The manufacturers do not always want to do that in which case their touts instigate strikes against them and when they are in a weakened condition the financiers foreclose on their plants for back interest on loans and in that way put the independent manufacturers out of business. But the working people are made to believe that it is the manufacturers that raise the price of products and lower the standard of wages when it is the financier in the background that does it. So the working people fight their friend instead of their foe.
 Being a manufacturer does not make him a financier. One is not a financier unless he lends money and gets interest on it.
 It is the financiers who are stealing twen­ty billion dollars a year from the Amer­i­can people, not the manufacturers, nor the merchants, nor the farmers, nor the working people.
 Since 1929 the financiers have stolen from the American people three hundred billion dollars worth of property. They now have that property in their possession which is proof that they stole it because they gave the people nothing for it. Now, isn’t it foolish for the working people, the manufacturers, the merchants and the farmers to blame each other for their troubles when nobody is to blame but the financiers who stole their property and now have it in their possession?
 The financiers have stolen more than six million homes from you working people. Now why do you fight among yourselves about it? Why do you working people get bricks and throw them at one another and crack each other’s heads open with clubs? That won’t make the financiers return those six million homes they stole from you. The fellows you are told to throw bricks at haven’t got your homes, neither have the manufacturers, merchants, nor the farmers got your homes, so why throw bricks at them?
 We are never going to tell working men to go and fight other working men. I never fought a working man in my life, and I never will. I wouldn’t harm a working man. A working man has enough trouble without me fighting him. I tell all the officers of this great, wonderful organization, “Don’t ever fight against working people. If I ever find any of my officers fighting against working men who did them no harm, I will remove them as officers.”
 Direct Credits Officers are taught to fight the big skins who control this murderous game and force the people to become little skins in order to steal a living.
 Yes, we are going right back to the roots of civilization. We are going to see that those three words SKIN ONE ANOTHER are changed to LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for unless you learn to love one another you are never going to get anywhere in this world nor in the next world.
 As long as you have hate in your brain,
