"MENE, MEME, TEkEL,
UPHARSIN"

Students of Biblical history will re
call that at the feast of Belshazzar, a
mysterious hand appeared suddenly
from nowhere and frightened old king
BEL into several kinds of fits by
writing the above quotation on the
wall of his private night club. King
Bells" case of DTS was no more
serious than that of present day CAPT
talist leaders, but present day capital
lists, having few thousand years of
diplomatic" experience to guide them
have been able to more successfully
conceal their jittery condition from
their loyal subjects, yet evidences of
their nervousness" nevertheless crop
up" and create some amusement for
those who are able to "read between
the lines" and, like Daniel, interpret
the meaning of economic occurrences
which foretell the passing of the CAPT
talist system
Students of Biblical history will re-
call that King Bells" father, "Old
Neb," accused Daniel of being an agi-
tator, a bolshevic, and radical who
was trying to overthrow the govern
ment, had him kicked off the "relief
rolls" and tossed like a WPA prune,
or other surplus commodity to the
Lions. However the Lions clubs of
that day didn't have the present day
taste for radical "knick-knacks," their
teeth needed floating or possibly they
didn't have their meat ration cards
with them. AT any rate Daniel, as
radical agitators have a propensity
for doing, escaped being chewed up
into hamburger by the Lions and lived
to interpret the handwriting on the
wall for the success to the king who
had caused him to have his "B card"
taken away from him.
1t is worth while, in our study of
the evolutionary process to garner a
few chuckles from examining the evil
dence of capitalist hysteria even while
we devote more serious thought to
the analysis of the economic picture
On April 81 of this year the Stand

friend of Farbenindustrie connections)

Now, one is impelled to ask, why
this sudden burst of generosity on
The part of Standard Oil? It isn't a
severe tax on even the most casual
leaders, intelligence to read between
