all of their security and have them tied up to an interest-bearing indebtedness of more than Three Hundred Billion Dollars as well. Yes, they are charging the American people more than Twenty Billion Dollars annual interest upon crooked credit loans that the people have no money to pay.
 Nice trap for the American people to slide into, eh?
 “This is the last depression,” said the alien financiers when they started this one in Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-nine.
 You know I used to hobnob with finan­ciers and they pretended to like me. They wanted to steal the aircraft industry and airlines, and they wanted me to do the dirty work for them. But I refused.
 What did they say when I refused to help them steal the American aircraft industry and airlines after offering to make of me their partner?
 They said, “Lawson, you are throwing down a chance to make a billion and become one of us. Now, you are either with us or against us. You are the best aircraft man in the world, now if you don’t belong to us then you are on the outside of the ring and you’ll die a natural death as far as publicity is concerned.

 Alien financiers started this last DE­PRES­SION in 1929.
 Yes, it is the last Depression for two good reasons:
 First, if the financiers succeed in their Devilish purposes, the people of America will become a slave race and there will be no need for depressions thereafter.
 Second, if the Direct Credits Society defeats the Devilish purposes of the Alien Financiers then there will be no more depressions because there will be no more financiers.
 Ever since the Alien financiers started this last depression in 1929 their touts have been telling the people that Prosperity would be found just around the Corner. So the people have been straining their eyesight for a good many years now to see what they will find around that corner.
 But when you will have arrived at that corner and take your first peek around it, you
