This is somewhat unfair to the farmers because of the fact that about the only profit they will make out of their sugar beets for last year will come from government payments. All of the other part of their pay goes to make profit for others.

A pillar of the system which has made them what they are, has spoken and made himself the voice of all those Tories who look at life and humanity only in terms of profit. He is H. L.

This country can never be wholly civilized and never more than half safe until they are got rid of altogether. These words were spoken by a genuine Tory and they are the most infamous insult ever spoken against a people. They set the author apart as a falsifier and betrayer of his fellow humans who, were it not for the system which he speaks for, might rise to be his equals or superiors. His vile words are spoken for profit and not for human welfare. They were spoken for that class of people who, rather than carry relief burdens and pay the necessary taxes, would be glad to see all the poor and miserable and unfortunate herded into concentration camps and cruelly put to death. If we were given the money that is being sent abroad, the money that is being spent for war and the money wasted by the rich, we know that we could go among the downtrodden sharecroppers, the people described in The Grapes of Wrath, and all the poor and dispossessed, and literally rehabilitate their starved bodies, restore their souls, change their ugliness and roughness into beauty.their ignorance into enlightenment.

Let Mr. Mencken set to studying and learning what made them as they are. We ask him, through Edwin Markham, Who made them into the terrible shapes they are? Who made them dead to rapture and despair? Who blasted their hopes? Who blew out the light within their brains? How shall it be with those who betrayed and defamed them in that day when they shall reply to God?" In contrast with Mr. Menkens harsh views and those expressed by others of similar opinions. Pres. Roosevelt shows a real Christian spirit toward the class of people mentioned above. In speaking of the big Columbia Valley reclamation project where there is room for half a million people, he says it should not be thrown open with the first come first served idea, which would secure it for the rich and strong. He would rather open it to 500,000 homeless and penniless and wandering men, women and children known as the Grapes of Wrath . people. His sympathies are with them and their kind.
