He also pointed out that "the

motive for the fight against sub

Answering the profiteering
forces attempt TO split labor and
the farmers on the issue, he said:
"This IL emphatically not an
issue between city and country
or between farmer and industrial

you will allow prices TO continue

result that this course will soon

The meteorologist said two storms
