lploitation by war profiteers.
THEY saw the necessity of disrupt
ing this domestic scene if they were
to realize the opportunity to get back
into the seat of government.
If they could upset the apple cart
their opportunity was this: To put
the squeeze of exploitation on the peo-
pie and at the same time to confuse
the people into blaming the squeeze on
| the government.
The first move was to gain control
of congress. For this they needed to
enlist the support of the reactionary
democrats of the south who had long
smarted under the liberal policies of
Roosevelt, and who were likewise in
terested in quick profits at the ex-
pense of the people. These southern
Bourbons are democrats by accident
and geography only, and it wasn't a
hard job to line them up with their
brothers under the skin of the north
the republican reactionaries Together
they were able to block any legisla-
ton they wanted to block.
The money changers knew that new
and prompt legislation was necessary
if the country was to move from war
to peacetime economy without dislo-
cation of the country's economic sys-
TEN. When the war ended-they went
into action. They blocked any and all
bills which were introduced into con-
gress to expedite reeonversion. The
result was just what they knew it
would be, the country adrift and the
administrations hands tied.
A president can not pass laws by
himself, that is the function of con-
gress. If congress refuses to act, the
president is impotent. 1t was the in
tention of the money changers to
present to the people the spectacle
of an impotent president. They depend
on the confusion of the times, on war
WEAKNESS, to mislead the people into
blaming this impotence to act in their
behalf on the president and his adj
ministration, but more important, ON
HIS POLITICAL PARTY.
Our money changers also knew that
labor had been faithful to its non
strike pledge, in spite of rise in liv-
ing costs, and that if labor was denied
promised adjustments after the war
ended, labor would strike. The mem
bers of the National Association of
Manufacturers, who are the manage
ment of industry, were protected by
law from financial loss during recon
version by the cut-back in excess pro-
fits taxes. They used this cut-back I'M
lawfully in an attempt to break or
ganized labor. They failed to break
labor, but they did force labor to
strike and they did add to the confus-
ion and discomfort of this period by
the subsequent delay in production of
needed articles.
The next step was to suck up the
savings of the people with initiation,
and this necessitated the killing of
price controls. Price controls broken
by their congressional conspirators
under the leadership of Senator Rob
ert A Taft, the people are now in the
process of being forced to use their
backlog of savings to buy food and
at exorbitant prices.
So the squeeze is on. Why?
Our money changers hope that we
will be confused and discouraged en-
ough to vote in the coming election
without intelligence. They think we
are going to fall into the trap and
turn the government back to them by
way of the OLD GUARD. They think !
we don't know that the Old Guard is a
for the National Associa- |
ton of Manufacturers; they think |
that we have forgotten that these !
same characters were the money
changers F. D. R. threw out of the
temple.
We, the people of the United States,
IN a time of abundance, are being de-
iberately deprived of meat, fats, soap
md clothing, and robbed of our saw
ngs. The National Association of |
has every one of these
necessary items carefully hidden in
