WHY THIS DISPARITY?


their willingness with the in
program We don't recall that farmers laboers
under what conditions they would be
willing to cooperate in the defense program
Yet the should stop producing foodstuf the
aborers refuse to and operate the machines not only
entire program down and take the manufacture
ing plant managers along with them, but all industry would
stop But possibility of such evenuaty did not occur
to either government officials to the manufacturing
plant operators
And danger of evenuaty of that kind 1t
need to be considered Everyone knew down their
hearts, that the farmer would work from dawn until dark and
by light produce food for society,"
he suffered want of ordinary necessities Of life him
SELF while doing The plant knew that the la
would the machines and work hard to produce the
things required And they would not expect to get ire
profits out of their work All that they would

simple living And if they should demand too much there
always the "hoe card of conscrpting them for labor
plant managers you could read at the time in the

bed like the proverba Jew with the of the United
States and proud government yielded OUR government
yours mine, theoretically but actually THEIRS in
of the word yielded demand of these bargain
They got their demand for fixed rates of profits
plants donated freedom from the plants during
the time they being paid for OUT OF PROFITS made
orders from government sorry exhibition the
part these proteers and apologize to all Jews for
pairing them with the 'proverbia Jew"
What might puzzle the average thinking American why
the these tremendous profits

hundredod increases in percentages of profits made from
orders and yet not consider necessary to guar

Uncle Sam says that years supply
the United States at the present time the farmer
producing wheat isn't going get much consideration in the
guarantees of price for the wheat he produces this

will price that will for the costs of produc

his government too?
reasonable think that when this build
ing program the great industrial organizations and
banking interests to have practically all OF the
money outlook the of society is that will be
working for generations the interest on the mountain
debt striving reduce by little the principal And
that there apparent further need
the production of and have to make
an the production and distribution of con-
goods going to be harred by nsence by these
same profeers with for balanced budget to
payment the interest and principal of the debt
tokens that they hold against
We hear lot these DAYS about the necessity for unity
This something that have always needed Perhaps its
greater Perhaps do face special emergency
Assuming that we do and that this tremendous armament
building program the warmaddened world OF
today then would seem reasonable that our government
should work which would fit the times and pro-
unqueonable grounds for realization by all that
democracy and that all OF us have privileges

would be for to the great manufacturing
Here you fellows have backs against the
wall You fighting to what you have, just like
You have to have the help of the aborers
your plants protect what you nave ana you nave TO
the farmers raise to eat to live So have to pitch
with the rest of and the that's made the turn
products labor has be divided share and share
alike This is the it's going to be whether like it or
from outside then maybe get back again

hard time making his stretch the rent
and clothing needs He can't be blamed for beginning
his isn't giving him the cold shoulder
Right there is where cracks begin to develop in the unity
in the form of inability to provide the
life widen the cracks into great assures
calling the working people Communists and other names
going those assures It's going to take
