istic propaganda is spreading among
the farm laborers. The movement is
certainly Of the greatest Importance.

result in nothing less than a peaceful
revolution. The large estates will be
divided up into small farms, and the
Swedish nation and the common man
will be the gamers. Ultimately the
movement will also check emigration,
for what SWede cares to leave his
country when he gets a fair chance
at home?
