The replies are beyond dispute in
their meaning. They place the re-
sponsibility and the blame for bust
ness unrest upon the demagogic poll
ticians, and these ten thousand bust
ness men are firm in their demand
that political agitation ceases. NO
one can read the opinions without
feeling the deadly earnestness of the
writer's. None can weigh the analy-
sis without an impression that bust
ness interests are fully convinced
that politics, as played by the ire
sponsible demagogue, is seriously
, ieopardizing the country's prosperity.

movement is absolutely non-poltical.
