ings.
Would Run Factories.
Taking the initial letters of his
four-word platform, Sinclair named
his program the "epic" plan. Esti-
mating its cost at $500 900. 900. he
proposed that the State take over de-
funct factories and businesses and
run them as community proposition
TO eliminate unemployment Other
unemployed would cultivate farm
lands the State has conflscated be-
cause of delinquent taxes. Workers
in the State-controled factories would
buy the produce of the State-controled
farms and vice versa.
Creel, wartime director Of prop
aganda, charged Sinclair was in reality
adapting President RooSevelt's ma
t1onal program to the State and
