people who study our program say, “We will follow your lead, Lawson, whenever you are ready:” So I tell them that Lawson is ready now but thai it takes time to train the right kind of leaders for the people. We must choose men and women who will not sell the people out. So we give everybody a chance and then sift them out until finally we will find enough reliable officers to guide the people to their ultimate success in self management.
 The officers of the Direct Credits Society are being taught to out-think the financiers instead of letting their touts outthink them. That is the way the people must whip them, not with clubs and bricks. I tell my officers that if they will whip the touts I will whip the financiers.
 You must watch those slippery birds who tell you that we must reduce the interest rates. That is a trap. They sometimes say, “Yes there is too much interest, and we are going to reduce it.”
 But Lawson says, “We are going to ABO­LISH INTEREST,” and that means something.
 The financiers would build Lawson the finest radio station on earth if he would stop saying “Abolish Interest” and just say “Re­duce Interest.”
 They have a legal rate of interest now of six and seven per cent, but they charge over two hundred per cent through their crooked manipulation of credit. They could still charge over two hundred per cent after the people agree to a legal rate of three per cent by their swindling methods. Just as soon as I can teach the people how their financial skin game is played, that will be the finish of it.
 The U.S.A. is a Democracy. That means that the people have a voice in the management of their own. affairs. Who can stop the people from adopting the Lawson Money System when they once understand it and say that they want it? So we must train enough officers to teach the people the principles of Direct Credits for Everybody, and the people will then instruct their Con­gress­men to make it a law. The Congressmen will not vote for it until their constituents demand it.
 You don’t do it with guns. You don’t do it with bricks. You do it because there are enough of you to tell your Congressmen that you want. it. Congressmen are tired of taking their orders from touts of the financiers and will be glad when the people tell them what THEY want. The people must tell them to ABOLISH INTEREST and stop paying false tribute to the financiers.
 Some time ago a vice president of an insurance company said to me, “I understand that you are going to take the interest off money. Our company has hundreds of millions of dollars in the banks which people draw interest on, Are you going to let the people lose that money? If not, what is going to become of it?”
 “We are going to let them use that money to build factories,” I said.
 “Then are you going to let them make a
