is their blood corpuscles. A few years ago I told the people of America that the financiers had them hooked for two hundred billion dollars of interest bearing indebtedness, but now I have to tell them that they have been hooked for three hundred billion dollars of interest bearing indebtedness. Yes, and this interest bearing indebtedness will continue to increase in the future way up into the thousands of billions unless the people stand up on their hind legs and put an end to it. Besides signing to our application blanks for membership almost all laboring people, we are also signing manufacturers, merchants, farmers, politicians, and professionals of all kinds. Yes, even bankers are signing applications for membership. They are whispering to one another that Lawson is right. So we are enlisting into this great movement everybody except the international financiers and their awful touts. The financiers intend to throw out all politicians and put in their places a DICTATOR; they intend to put boys with bayonets in place of the civil police; they are going to confiscate every industry so they can control the manufacture of all products; they are going to take possession of all retail stores so they can increase the price of necessities; they are going to foreclose on all farms and force the people to pay tribute on their bonded indebtedness; they are going to take all of the working people’s homes and charge them exorbitant rents to live in them; they are going to close the schools so that the children will grow up ignorant and slavish; they are going to do away with all labor organizations just as they have already done in other countries where they have established dictators; they are going to reduce the purchasing power of the dollar until it will buy no better living conditions than is enjoyed by Chinese Coolies. Yes, just what the financiers have done to the people of China they will do to the people of America if we don't stop them before they get the strangle hold of a dictator. So people, you must think seriously of what I am telling you and make up your minds that to save yourselves, to save your children, to save your friends, to save your freedom and TO STOP WAR you must do what I have advised you to do. There is no other course to pursue. So join the Direct Credits Society at once and help to
