It is just as much murder to starve
people to death as to shoot them to
death. It is up to the poor people of
this country to raise more
vegetables. More people should go
to the farm and become producers.
The lure of high wages in the cities
and manufacturing centers is a
delusion and snare. Under the
prevailing high prices, no matter
what kind of wages one receives,
after the necessary expenses are
paid, there is very little left. If the
government would imprison some of
the conscienceless men who are
becoming millionaires, while
thousands are barely able to exist.

happen, but they are often
embarrassing to the scribe,
particularly when they adorn the
front page.
