Stop Thief!

Every week the American people are being
robbed of millions thru the crimes of group
of Spectators operating in sugar. They be-
gan their raid by garbling a report of the
department of commerce, saying that the
report showed a shortage in sugar, when, as a
matter of fact, il shows q surplus only little
smaller than last year. And now, in spite of
the fact that the trick is exposed sugar keeps
going up and up.
Ii has gone up ttCo cents a pound since the
cheat they perpetrdted on the official report
lcGS exposed.
What does this mean?
1t means that someone or some group has
the sugar supply cornered. 1t is the robbery
of the people thru monopoly of staple
food. 1t is a command to stand and deliver
TO all of us down to the very poorest, backed
not by guns, but by hunger.
1t means that little children already stunt
ed by poverty will be pushed down to an even
lower plane of living 1t means that greed
has the power in this country openly to fat
ten on hunger 1t means that something is
rottener in the United States than Hamlet
found it in the State of Denmark
1t means that something is equally rotten
in the congress of the United States that it
should adjourn without providing for an in
veStlgatlon of this sugar situation.
We rant TO k1tolO lChO is TO blame The
sugar producers say it is a ring of specu-
lators. The producers say they are opposed
to this high-handed price manipulation.
The people who are robbed want to know
Especially the women want to know-and
women vote And if our laws permit such
crimes as the cutting down in this way of the
peoples food, the people, and especially the
women, rant TO kftolg tCbether the ialcs are 10
