make of the proposed financial plan
that the president Is said 10 he formu-
hating. When the plan is presented we
will speak of il as il deserves. III it is
for the benefit of the people. We will
sly - and UrSe its adoption: if il is in
the interest of amy class Of people, and,
therefore detrimental To other classes,
We shall not hesitate 10 criticiSe IL as IL
deserves.

that they had gone To work To formn-
