LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

nuisance in the White House than snob Delano, who objected to Farley
NOT on moral or ethical grounds, but PURELY as snobism; didn’t want
a mere henchman to succeed him.
And as to American labor. When will American labor start lookin’ into
the currency question ? “Question,” of course there ought not to be any
INTERROGATIVE element in it. Even a hod carrier OUGHT to be able
to learn why interest payin’ debt is NOT so good a basis for money as is
productive labor.
But will they ? Will the American hod carrier and skilled engineer
(includin’ Mr. Hoover) ever git round to the currency issue ? (I call it
issue, not question.)
And will the American big employer or financier, except Baruch, ever
start studyin’ the solution of HIS problem, which is a corporate solution,
in the sense of that word now current in Europe ?
A CORPORATE problem, or issue, which does NOT mean starving the
workman, or breakin’ him up by scab mobs.
Lord knows I don’t SEE how America can have fascism without years of
previous trainin’. Looks to me, even now as if the currency problem
was the place to start savin’ America. As I have been sayin’ for some
time back, call it ten years or call it twenty. At this moment it looks like
as if John Lewis would take just as long to git round about feedin’ my
books to his troops, as it would take the Harvard faculty to git Mr.
William G. Morse’s permission to use ’em in Harvard (Economics
Department).
Both sides will have to come to it.
