that pulls people together; that makes

goal; a solution that solves the prob
lens of all groups and all individuals.
The cooperative way promotes citi-
zenship by encouraging participation
in the social-economic and political
phases of life. That in turn broadens
the horizon. 1t reveals the identity
of interests; that before the individ-
uals problems are solved all group
problems must be solved. 1t creates
unity in effort, goal, and interest.
The cooperative way integrates the
people and releases the highest and
best potentialities in the Individual
The cooperative way is the best
insurance against unemployment be-
cause it withholds no profits.
1t thus eliminates the one great
obstacle to human development, pow
erty of the masses. 1t promotes in
the same way the fullest development
of the individual with consciousness
Of his social responsibilities and his
place in the collective whole. 1t COM
bines individual interests with the col
lective interest.
This is the aim Of the Farmers

way proposes that to the extent feast
BILE and possible the people shall run
their own business. That is the way
doing, the profits, which under other
systems represent the value of the
goods and service which the producers
cannot repurchase, are put back into
pockets of the people. This reduces
the gap between the value of the
goods and services produced and the
value Of what is repurchased. When
what was formerly withheld as prof
its Ca reduction of the amount repur-
chased by the people, is eliminated,
the people will come just that nearer
to consuming total production. Then
under such conditions the public can
afford whatever it can produce. And
because of chronological advancement
and a generous nature we can pro-
duce abundantly, we can live in abun-
dance. We shall no longer need to
exploit other nations and suffer the
wars consequent to gaining and hold
ing trade zones or spheres of influ-
ence.
But equally important with the fl
nancial gains are the moral and eth
ical considerations which are INSOFAR
ably connected with the economic
aspects.
The narrowing of the gap between
production value and consumption
value is much more than financial
gain. However, that is important. 1t
is all important as the only means
of keeping the economic machinery in
high gear and eliminates the dangers
with large reserves and
profits being used to propaganda,
and divide the people.
The moral and ethical aspects can
not be overlooked. The demoralizing
effect of over emphasis on profits
must not be overlooked. We have |
already called attention to the emo
Iional conflicts or brutalizing effect on
individuals who feel compelled to vio-
ate every moral precept in order to
get along. The stooge, informer,
cheat, and buffer is not cured by
lame calling so long as economic
needs make profitable the very sins
We condemn.
