Let us enthrone humanity and dethrone the interest-bearin- g dollar. It is interest that makes money into Mammon. Let us band together for economie freedom instead of being in bondage. Dollar diplomacy is what is want d that means dollars are well able and willing to pay for the service rendered in serving each and every generation, upon the basis of service charges instead of phantom interest Money being of quantity and everlasting I mean it does not diminish like wheat cotton and other commodities; therefore, it would not be a burden upon those who hold the great piles of money these days to pay a small service charge upon the dollar values they hold at present. Banks can serve money values as warehouses, depositories and repositories, same as commodities are handled by the warehouses built by the labors of past fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. Your writer thinks the natural laws will work to the great advantage of all people upon the earth today if only the people get the concept of it once in a million years. For instance, you have the law of supply to always take into consideration. The law of the tree serves for a pattern. The tree takes from the ground just sufficient, leaves the balance for the seeds and seedlings. Well, here is your writers formula, in applying that to the 130 million human tree America. Bring in sufficient, say 75 per cent; leave the 25 per cent where grown and gotten, for it means both commodities and money. To rave democracy and constitutional government it will not cost anything to start on the following four terms: Theme, Creed, Code, Slogan. The Theme is How to Make the World Better and a Million Ways to do it. The Creed is: Stand Not In the Way of Youth. Let them work, take responsibility, pay the price or penalty, gain the reward, but stand by the Constitution and the majority law. One for All and All for One. Equality and justice. The Code: Abstain from the Use of Tea. Coffee, Liquor, Tobacco Profanity and Immorality. Slogan: Support no Organisation, Denomination, Corporation, or Society that accepts the present Capitalistic system while it allows unlimited incomes and takes interest on money. Pay no man any more than $10 a day and allow no interest on money. The purpose of the dollar is to team with man, man to be the positive, the intelligence, and the dollar to be the negative means of exchange, without interest. All for the convenience joy, and satisfaction of each and all. Work and income for everyone. Money to be obtained, easily and plentifully, for homebuilding etc. If interested, drop me a line.

In a recent recommendation of the navy's general board, William Brucks rt sees the naval officers making n strong bid for additional control of fos department. He lays they will be taking foto power away from civilian officers. While he doubts that congress will accept this recommendation, Bruckart warns that wo must watch any trend which would give too much power to "non elective" authorities. -- apparent Assume we, as nation, were having some hard feelings with one of our North or South American neighbor!. Assume, further, that the other nation was doing ua an injustice and was refusing to allow the matters to be arbitrated so that a show of force could possibly serve a purpose. Well, among our elected officials, there obviously would be differences of opinion.- Thera always has been and there always will be. Does anybody think that the chief of naval operations with greater powers than he now has would bo found on the aide of restraint in dealing with such a problem?
