LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

OH, that they vary the currency, the purchasing power of money. When
the bankers have money, it is of very great value, you have to pay for it
thru the nose. But when you get a bit of it, its value evaporates. The
game is as old as Aaron, it was denounced in the time of Thucydides.
“Banish your dotage, banish usury/that makes the Senate ugly,”
remarked the stage character, Alcibiades, in Shakespeare’s Timon of
Athens, Act. III, scene 5. Shakespeare is not my favorite author, but he
occasionally bangs a nail on the head. That side of Shakespeare’s
dramatic writings is NOT given due prominence. It is not what gets large
poster publicity. For decades the public in England and America has
been FAR more interested in the private lives of the actors, of Henry,
Irving and in Ellen Terry. “I come to bury” Caesar and all the rest of it,
“not to praise him.”
Well let’s be MATERIAL, since you are lined up with the materialists.
Let’s see where we are, ideologically. Or in other words let’s see what
cards have been put on the table. Mr. Stalin says LOCAL control. That is
to say, he says he disbands something or other, and the local communist
parties must run their own local shows without daily orders from
Moscow. Up comes Mrs. Trotsky, widdy Trotsky, and says that means
SHE is to run the world revolution from Mexico City. Just what
Nebraska was hoping for. World communism governed from Mexico
city. But was that JUST what Stalin meant by his maneuver? Has Mr.
Welles joined the local communist party? Not officially. But he put a few
cards on the table (the joker face down amongst ’em). Some rash bohunk
said Sumner had COINED, coined mind you, the phrase “economic
aggression.” But what does Sumner mean by aggression? Let’s not rake
up everybody’s past skeletons. Even Sumner admitted that the U.S. had
aggressed. Let’s look at his program, or as that is pretty vague, let’s ask
for a definition.
WHO according to Sumner’s bright plans for tomorrow, WHO is to
DUMP what on WHOM? And is the fellow that has to take what he
don’t want going to be forced to pay for it in money controlled by a gang
