Some poet has said: "The thoughts
of youth are long, long thoughts"
Which may account for the far
reaching plans of some of America $
present monopoly -devising crew. Some
Of them were doubtless young men,
just after the end of World War /,
and they saw the rich pickings which
their sires gathered, after that holO-
caust, when America planted the seeds
OF a multi-billiOn crop of gold bullion
now hidden somewhere in the mid
west.
And so, they planned on much
larger scale, for some more "after the
war" gleanings. They made contracts
with l. GesellSchaft Farben InduStrie,
for after the war. They did the same
with japanese financiers. Naturally,
they would say that they had no idea
of what Hitler and Hirohito were plan
ming. Well they might have known,
had their research men been told to
look into the records, and then to make
honest reports.
Truth is, they planned worldwide
mOnOpOlies, and not to the benefit of
the American people, for their CON
tracts all looked to absolute control
by themselves of the American mar
lletS for some of the most essential
elements of this machine-age civiliza-
ton. 1t was to be the development
of their own "New Order.
With America as home base, they
saw the possibilities of Il world empire,
based on financial power and organiza7
ton. 1t was an economic war; and in
its prosecution they We're as merciless
to the people of America, as to those
of any other land. They anticipated
unemployment. They anticipated relief
rolls for the unemployed.
And they proposed that every person
enrolled on the relief rolls should be
stricken from the voting rolls. That
was the kind of Il democracy in which
they believed. And this also was among
the results to which they looked for

One of their spokesman said, back in
the days of n. II. \. "Permanent un-
employment is no part of the problem
of Industry. But Il permanent control
of American Industrial and economic
conditions was Il part of their problem.
But here come along two nations
of retrOvertS, who do not think i'll
terms of dollar-power; but of machine
gun-tlive-bomber- pow
er, and who calmly propose to test out
The relative strength of the two kinds
of empire and world rule: DOllar-pOW-
er vs.. Gun-poWer.
Our little wouId-be super men had

navy and army brass hats, in terms of
= the last war. And SO they had no con
, ception of what was back of these
contracts (D which the totalitarial
powers had coddled them into making
so as TO tie the hands of the democra-
cieS of the world, who We're still OBJ
serving contracts and patent laws.

T. Thus it is, that when America is
facing the crisis of all time, YOU FIND
the dOllar-a-ycar men, whose real sal
i, aries come from these monopoly-plan
, ners, planted among the key-paccS il
: the war production and supply offices
, with their hands on the levers of mill
p tary supplies, exercising their know
! ledge of materials and processes anc

f TO the "after-the- war" ObjectivpS.
' They don't even know what is going
