enter the field as producers of wealth
and our real aim is to supply these
products to other co-operators in ex-

believe they will be worse; but if you
just float with the tide, shall you ev-
er reach the goal you are trying to
attain. Wake up, comradesl There
are better things in sight. We have
the key to the real solution of the pro-
