 You say you don’t pay interest on $300,­000,­000,­000. Oh, yes, you do. Every time you buy anything you pay interest on that back interest indebtedness.
 When you buy food, clothes or anything else you pay interest in the increased price of the products. You pay it when you buy or rent a home.
 You pay it when you buy an automobile or the gas for it. You pay it when you ride on railroad trains, airplanes, street cars, boats or busses. You pay the interest on the $300,­000,­000,­000 every time you pay for anything that you use. There is no way that you can escape it, even to the coffin they bury you in. So do not try to fool yourself along that line any longer. You don’t fool the financier, you fool yourself.
 You have now gotten to the end of your rope. The financier has you tied up hand and foot. He owns or controls the money. He owns or controls the credit. He owns or controls the property.

 The International Financiers are at the back of all wars. They arouse the people to murderous action by making them think that they have been terribly mistreated, when in reality the people on neither side have done anything whatsoever to cause war any more than two dogs that have never seen each other before are brought together in a pit and egged to fight each other to death.
 The only way these financial swindlers can control everybody that produces wealth and take everything they produce away from them is by continually keeping them hating each other and fighting each other. They urge them on to hate and fight over race, religion, politics and labor disputes until they have completely worn themselves out and are then easily subdued and dispossessed of everything they have.
 They urge the manufacturer to fight the laborer and the laborer to fight the manufacturer. They then incite one set of workingmen to fight against another set of workingmen and vice versa. Then they get the conservatives to fighting the radicals and the radicals to fighting the conservatives. Then
