MAKE NEW CONTACTS

Sioux Falls, S. D., is the first
place we stopped at where we
found any organization among the
farmers. Until we reached Fred
erick we were unable to have a
single meeting, but on our return
trip We hope to have plenty as we
have made contacts where we had
none before.
We are now in a caravan of five
cars and trucks from the north
west. We are attracting a lot of
attention along the highways with
our banners and slogans promi-
nently displayed.

whose profit sheets are studied, is
food products companies led the
field with an average annual rate
of return of 1917 per cent. A
group of seven packing companies
came second with an average re-
turn of ga per cent. Note that
these profits were maintained at a
time that a great trust like the
General Motors showed a reduced
profit of 1.5 per cent and the
United States Steel also actually
showed a deficit.
BAKING CO. ALSO LEAD
For the first nine months of the
preceding year, the food groups
showed even higher profits. The
Food Products group received on
that, year profits as high as 14.1
per cent, while the seven Baking
Companies received 1921 per cent

could secure a hall for their meet

the police have so inundated all
hall owners in Washington that
they are afraid to rent a hall to

THOUSANDS CHEER
Wherever the nine columns of
marchers who gathered at the
capital from the south, north and
west passed on their line of march
they were met by thousands of
cheering workers who forced their
city and state governments to let
the caravans pass on their way to
Washington.
In Philadelphia, meetings were
held for the marchers at which
1000 workers came out At Tron-
ton, N. J., workers in the Regal
Doll Shop struck for one hour to
show their solidarity with the
marching men. Seven thousand
cheered the marchers as they left
st. Louis. Youngstown polio e

$500 workers gathered to greet
the marchers as they came thru.

statement in this campaign:
1.-THE war is on for bread, for land.
for peace. The American Congress
must either provide employment or
unemployment insurance or the
other There is no escape. Our homes
and our farms are being stripped
from the people, and these homes
and these farms must be refinanced.

their program at Washington. l know
Washington, and l need waste no time
in learning the ropes there. We need

my policy through all these years
has been a policy of America first,
and certainly Americans should come
first before we finance foreign arm
les and foreign enterprises. Economy
and tax reduction at home can never
be brought about by squandering our
money in Europe.
Bring our marines and our battle
fleets home. George Washington once
said: Why stand upon foreign
ground? Here we are invincible and

of nations.
IF you will permit me, would like
