matter for the financiers to declare martial law and deny the people the right to vote, or assemble, or talk, or print anything of any nature that is not permitted by the touts of the financiers who are the leaders of these different organizations.
 You say that cannot be done in America?
 Well, just who do you think is going to stop it if all of your organizations are controlled by the financiers and you do just what their touts tell you to do?
 The U.S.A. would have been under the heel of a financial dictator long ago if the finan­ciers could have agreed among themselves as to which one of their gangs should rule.
 But financiers cannot trust one another and that is all that has kept the Dictator out of America up to this time.
 It is true that either gang would rather accept the Lawson Program of Capitalism with improved finance than to be ruled by a competitor’s bloodthirsty dictator who would eventually confiscate all of their properties.
 If the Lawson Program were in operation today all financiers could become honest men instead of cheats. They could retain what property they now have in their possession, but, instead of charging tribute for the use of their money they would use it to build more industries and greater means of transportation. They would help to enlarge wealth production so that every human being could have a chance to work that wanted to work as well as to deny no one the necessities of life.
 Instead of charging interest and getting something for nothing they would get a profit by giving something for something.
 The Twenty Billions of interest that the financiers now cheat the people of America out of would go into the pockets of the working class, which added to the highest purchasing power ever attainable by labor would give the people enough money to buy about everything that the capitalist would be able to produce.
 Would that stop the profits of the capitalist? Of course not.
 With the pockets of the working people full of money to buy everything needed, the factories would be kept running at full speed to supply them with it and the owners would enjoy such prosperity as they never dreamed of before. It is only those with ossified cerebrums that cannot understand that.
 But as long as either of these gangs of financial maniacs thinks that they have a chance to put in a dictator and enslave the people they will probably continue to get control of the different organizations and pay traitorous touts to sell out the people and drive them into blind alleyways as they drive sheep and cattle into the different pens of the stockyards.
 An easy way for anybody to learn if financiers control the organizations he is paying fees and dues to is to ask the leader to publicly announce that INTEREST MUST BE ABOLISHED. If he refuses then he must stand with the financiers who are milking the people out of Twenty Billions of Dollars annually through the interest collection swindle. He certainly must be against the people if he helps the financiers to rob them
