were able to take away from the American people more than $300,000,000,000 worth of their property during the past ten years without giving them anything in return for it. They also increased the Interest Bearing Indebtedness of the American people to more than $300,000,000,000, for which they have given absolutely nothing in return.
 They force the American People to pay $20,000,000,000 interest annually on this Indebtedness which, of course, cannot be done, which causes the principal to grow larger and larger all of the time.
 God does not measure man’s success by the quantity of wealth he can steal from his fellow beings and store up for himself to the disadvantage and suffering of others. He has contempt for that sort of a wretch and permits him to sink into the most despicable of characters with no permanent contentment either in this life or the next.
 Man’s present economic system is a pollution and does not harmonize with any of God’s laws. You, the people, are going to change it. You are not going to allow those Devilmen to starve weak babies and feeble old folks much longer.
 You are going to arouse yourselves to the enormity of the situation and arise in your might and strike with all of the force at your command at the root of the evil—IN­TER­EST.
 You are going to strike down INTEREST before it strikes you down. You are going to fight it while you have strength to do so, not wait until you are too weak to combat it; not until the clock has struck your last hour, for then it will be too late.
 God will double, triple or quadruple your strength if you will but step out into the open and fight this INTEREST evil now.
 And when you fight this evil do not fight part of it but fight the whole of it. Do not compromise with INTEREST.
 Now the ISSUE today is INTEREST or no INTEREST. The people must demand that be settled first before they consider any other question.
 The people have lost their property through the Interest Collecting Swindle.
 The Financiers have in their possession the people's property, which they took from them by means of the Interest Collecting Swindle.
 So there you have the game made as clear as day for you.
 Which side do you belong on—the people’s side who have had their property taken from them, or on the side of the Financiers who took their property away from them?
 It you want INTEREST you belong on the side of the Financier. If you want to abolish Interest you belong on the side of the people.
 Whenever a leader of any organization tries to win your confidence, just ask him point blank—do you stand to abolish interest or don’t you? Make him answer that question straight, not lead you into a discussion of something else. That is a trick of the Financier’s agent to make you forget the main issue—Interest or no Interest.
