with the same object in view, namely, the production of wealth, then they should both enjoy equal rights of protest if the conditions under which they cooperate are unsatisfactory to either of them.
 In that event their representatives should meet in good spirit and iron out their difficulties in such a way that neither will get the worst of it.
 But, in case an amicable agreement cannot be reached between them they should not make matters worse by stopping the production of wealth and thereby creating misery and suffering among innocent people who depend upon it for subsistence, but they should submit their grievances to a third party as arbiter for final settlement.
 However, the one who officiates as arbiter should be entirely free from any connection whatsover with the parties in dispute and should be able to prove that there is absolutely no chance for gain in it for him no matter what his final decision may be.

 Therefore by such methods the financiers are able to absorb four-fifths of all wealth earned by both Capital and Labor.
 So by control of the money system the financiers were enabled to buy control of newspapers, magazines, radio, screen and every other avenue of publicity and teach the people therewith that their swindling methods were all right.
 Of course swindlers are also liars and through their publicity agencies the finan­ciers tell the people that there are Sixty Billions of Dollars on deposit in the banks of
