The Problem of Money.
I don't pretend to understand the
technique Of currency and the money
system. Many people, including all
the great Wall Street and Washing
ton minds, say they understand
money. but lcok at the mess they've
made Of things.
There is a complete explanation
by Marx. but as I cannot tell lie
I am forced to admit I haven't
yet mastered it.
It's obvious Of course that all
money is fictitious when based upon
gold and not labor-Value. It's also
obvious that money is the root OF all
capitalist evil. Capitalists try to cure
the mcley-disease by attacking
symptoms.
Capitalist Roosevelt and his group
of liberal crusaders are trying to cure
the 5rozsn- money symptom by in
flation. Their first step is to raise
the prices of everything; the theory
being, 1 imagine, that if the people
can't buy shoes at three dollars, they
will be able to buy them at five
"Thoy lave no bread, let them eat

lis here that any amateur econo-
mist can begin to understand how
rencte Roosevelt and his gang are
from the real feelings of the Amer
lean mass.
They actually believe the American
people will love them and bless them
for boosting the price of bread, meat
clothing, rent, gasoline, moving pic
lures. There's something so heart
LEES about this abstract chess play
yet it is a good picture of the Opaque
capitalist mind. A capitalist can
never visualize what serious mat
ter one. or two dollars a week in the
price OF things means to millions of
proletarien homes. Often it actually
means mslnutrition and death.
