cancer Prr Roosevelt takes away our
PTD.'s from US we will be just
SOL
Now the serious, and pitiful
cje Of the whole Rooseveltian Fan
Dance which has so completely
fooled the majority of the public
Is that. Mr.. Roosevelt knows, if he
has lust ordinary intelligence, that
every gesture of this meaningless
HuIa-Hula was utterly futile so
far as promoting a sound recOv-
gv is concerned. Students of
economics have long realized, and
many who are not students but
who have just ordinary "horSe
sense that the old capitalist, or
profit system has broken down of
its own weight, for profit, when
thoroughly analysed, will be seen
to be nothing more or less a pay
ment for which NO SERVICE
HAS EVER BEEN RENDERED,
since in. determining the selling
price of any article the manufac-
tlrer first determines the cost Of
production by totaling every item
Of expense which enters into that
cost INCLUDING ALL WAGES
UF MANAGEMENT OR SUPER
NIENDENCE, and to that cost
o. production which includes pay
ment for every service actually
rendered, he adds still another
item Of PROFIT, for which NC
SERVICE HAS been rendered, anC
m Is item of profit is governed BY
Whatever THE TR AFFIC
WILL BEAR.
Enormous profits, for which nj
service has been performed, tenC
inevitably to the concentration o.
Le wealth produced into The
aalOS Of the few who have tn,
%Sef to command those profits
S Jaa tend also to destroy the pur
IaSng power of the workers wht
