believe also that circulation OF
money or credit can be brought
about and guaranteed instead OF
being left to the selfish ideas of a
few. Since credit is the life blood
of business, it must circulate.
Immediate steps must be taken
to end unemployment, and the re-
tirement of the government from
business will tend to solve this
problem. Business men know how
to conduct business and the aver
age politician does not. He should
confine his efforts to the duties of
his Office.
All unnecessary instrumentalities
of government, boards, bureaus,
