Shirley is so far in front in

not even the fast-traveling

little Miss Keeler possesses
what many a star would
give their right eye to have
"a wholesome. unspoiled
look which spells appeal.
I look to see Hollywood
annex Paul Haakon any mo-

dancer who pirouettes, leaps

never make my heart beat

ering any service to society. The pump to be
primed has the same hole of usury and excess
profit gap in it now as it did when the pump
ceased throwing the necessary stream of COM
modities 5 years ago. The same defective fl
nancial system that caused all our so-called de-
preston and kept millions impoverized with a
90 billion dollar national income will be a worse
chain around labor's neck with the additional
national debt, of which this S billion is only a
small part, than existed prior to the s~o-called
depression.
With profits higher for the industrialists,
wages lower for the workers, USURY greater
than ever on our national debt, and the national
income lower by reason of reduced purchasing
power Of the producers of wealth due to the
above conditions that are unavoidable under the
program mapped out by those who c%onspired to
put America on a European basis, the prospect
of the future, so far as the New Deal crowd is
concerned, is a dark and dreary picture.
The Industrial Workers and Farmers of Ameri-
ca must understand that neither this 5 billion
nor any other amount of billions borrowed from
the USURY GRADERS will prime the pump
of production for profitable gain, either tenn
porary or permanent, for those who render real
productive service to society; and we include
among this number those who are in Congress
fiddling while this nation is burning with a few
erish heat, because of the brazen impudence of
those who would create a permanent caste sys-
tenn in America. The only people who are be-
ing fooled by the self-styled cultured ones" are
the ones who have finally succumbed to the be-
lief in their own hocus pocus.
By the same process, which is bound to be in
t%ensified, by trying to borrow ourselves out of
our misery by creating more USURY, which is
more misery, the same money ~grabbers will have
this S billion dollars safely back in their own
tills inside of one year, and the American people
will be one year older and billion dollars more
in debt. This is positively the correct analysis
of the results of trying to lift ourselves from
the cellar OF a money changers temple to the
first floor of prosperity in a tub without even
a bottom.
Notwithstanding the whispering and journal
istic campaign against those who are trying to
save America and Americans from those brilliant
minds, who would enjoy, through international
imperialism, the bearing of the burdens of all
nations and who were so incensed by the failure
of their international court to get a strange
hold on us, we must drive on and on until our
pet devil" usury, and their favorite agents are
discredited.- these agents of International
ism, we wish it were possible that they would
not continue to hide their meager light under
a bushel.

Five Billion Dollars-Where From?

So that we may not be confused as workers
and still retain "a judgment that is laid to the
line and righteousness to the %plummet" in con-
nection with the so-called depression and much
talked of relief bills, we offer the following in
connection with the 4 billion 800 million dollar
federal relief bill. So far as we know, or are
able to find out, no one knows exactly what this
nearly 5 billion is to be used for.
The purpose of the money, it is said, is in
tended to break the back of the depression by
employing a large number of persons at some
kind of labor - the workers receiving this money
to create a purchasing power to stimulate in
dustry, thus providing for the hiring of more
men in these stimulated industries, and so on ad
infinitum, until all the wheels of industry get
to rolling with such a momentum that the pub
lie works program will be left as dead as a mack
erel for the want of laboring men to keep it
breathing.
What a wonderful picture this is in the face
of the theories that the depression was caused
by over-production, under-consumption, over
capacity, corresponding, discrepancy between
saving and investment, over-confidence, mal-dis-
tribution of gold, wages not keeping pace with
production or, if you prefer, lack of purchasing
power. The latter is the hypothesis upon which
the New Dealers proposed to shuttle us out of
the limbo of the forgotten man.
In the first and last analysis of this S billion
dollar pump primer, where will it come from,
who will get the benefits of it, and who will
pay for it and at what price?
The only persons who will and can possibly
benefit by it are those who have before and dur
ing the depression lived in luxury without rend-
