communists' professed devotion to free speech, particularly
inconsistent, and obviously insincere.
Take this man, De Jonge for example, who was convicted
under the Oregon statute, but according to Inst reports, is en
route to Washington, D. C, to
stration before the White House.
During his trial De Joncc was asked, from which country
he would take his orders in case of war between the United
StateB and Soviet Tiussia.
"I would take my orders from Moscow", was De Jonge 's
answer.
In other words De Jonge 's first loyalty is to the Russian
government. Well, how about free speech under THAT govern

To have advocated what he did advocate in this state, the,
forceful overthrow of the government, not a prison sentence, but
death without a trial would have been his portion.
Free speech indeed! No person with the slightcst interest in
free speech could subscribe to the principles of Russian com
munism. And yet these Oregon "reds" proclaim their devotion
to Moscow in one breath; and their willingness to die for the
right of saying what they believe in the next.

OIFFLE1 As has been previously stated in this column, these
PROFESSIONAL American communists, deserve no more
consideration than any other criminals deserve. They profess
to be interested in humanity and the betterment of the common
man, but this is all a smoke screen behind which they conspire to
gain their destructive ends. They are only interested in the
overthrow of this government,
THEMSELVES, through the
dictatorship.
Let their ends once be achieved, and there would be just as
much personal liberty and freedom of speech in this country
as there is in Soviet Russia today,
And yet these "reds" have

NO. II.
Let us now review some statistics
of the U. 8., lately furnished In re
gard to tbe valuo of farm crops pro
duced In the United States.
These are given as from two and
one-half to four and one-half billions
per year during the last few years.
Thirty per cent of our people In
the United States derive their In-
come from agriculture and their to
tal gross Income la not more than
two months' cost under the Town
send plan. We are forced to reduce
our farm products, because we have
an oversupply. Pension fund or no
pension fund, farm products cannot
be Increased materially, unless we
Just grow them and burn them up,
as we have done with our corn crop,
or la now done In Brazil with coffee.
Only Three Days Pension.
A larg.) part of the farm products
never enter the channels of trade.
They are consumed by the farmers
themselves and therefore no turn
over tax would be available from this
source.
Let us further presume that the
rest of the farm products are sub
ject to a turnover tax three times;
even If we take Into consideration
that many farmers bring their prod
ucts directly to the grocer in ex
change for other goods, and only one
turnover tax can be credited to these
transactions, we find that the total
sum available from all transactions
of farm products In the whole United
States would be sufficient Just to
provide enough money tor three days'
pension fund.
Keep In mind that this sum ta
furnished by 30 per cent of all the
people In the United States, and that
our farm Industry Is after all the
basis of a great amount of the wealth
In the United States.
The very desirable price increase
of farm products within reasonable
limits would make very little differ
ence In the sum total, which would
come from this source.
Falluey of Bank Clearances.
The promoters of the Townsend
plan base their percentage require
ment on a turnover tax of 1360 bil
lions per year, which la explained
by the use of the bank clearance In
pre -depression time.
A most fantastic statistical J tin
gling 1
Bank clearings do not represent
turnover of goods alone. The high
bank clearance of pre -depression days
and today Include many other Items,
especially stock transactions.
During 1929 we had for a while
turnover of 20 millions of shares
on the New York stock exchange
alone, at a value of perhaps three
billion dollars per day, and these
transactions on the New York stock
exchange enter not only Into bank
clearance statistics in New York, but
frequently at the same time the same
transactions appear in bank clear-'
ance In other banks and swell the
sum total of all bank clearance all
over the country.
I do not know if the Townsend
people want to charge also 3 per
cent for stock transactions. This
will mean of course a very consider
able sum. but the result would be
that there will be no more stock sales
fr.r rsrwsr.i.fit.! iViiTn"w nH fiir.l-iar
with 50 transactions the total cap
ital would disappear and be paid
over Into the pension fund.
It is also not quite clear If the
Townsend plan contemplates the
turnover tax for real estate. In any
case these transactions are of course
also Included In bank clearance sta
tistics. Comment

form of salaries aa servants of the
federal, state or municipal govern
ments. They do not produce any
goods subject to sales tax. but their
salaries appear in the bank clear
ance. The same refers to all other sal'
arles, fees of professional men, etc.,
and all these sums enter Into bank
clearance.
We have had and have yet taxes on
freight charges, amusement tocketa.
etc., and the sum total of all these
transactions would be sufficient Just
for another day or two of pension
fund requirements.
As to Industry.
Remains now, of course. Industry
with lte man and machine power.
We can without doubt increase
machine power tremendously and
produce unlimited quantities of goods,
but we do not want to feed the pen
nies Into machines, but to men. and
the question has to be answered, If
this la possible, can It be made a
reality?
The total value of all goods pro
duced in the United States is esti
mated from 30 to 45 billions of dol
lars per year.
We have seen that the value of all
agricultural products Is estimated at
four and one-half billions of dollars.
The ieal value of all products con
sumed In the United States Is the
value of the goods received by the
ultimate consumer or buyer, and not
the sum total of all products made.
It Is practically Impossible to get
the real values. I have explained this
already, before giving the example of
hay and milk. How misleading our
production statistics are can be seen
when we find, for example. In a tabu
lation of chemical products made In
the United States Includes an Item:
Arsenate of lead 91.000.000 (these
figures are not the correct figures.
but given anly as an example). Or
an Item:
Fruit wrapping paper $1,000,000.
Here are two Items with a sum of
3.000,000, which go Into trade sta
tistics. But the same Items are contained
In the pears and apples shipped.
I am convinced that the figures
given In our statistical records refer
ring to values do not represent the
final values and are much too high.
But even If we presume that the
figures are correct, It is a matter of
simple mathematics to work out how :
much more we must produce and
what extraordinary turnover must be
accomplished to make the Utopia of
the Townsend plan possible.
To get the sums required from a
per cent turnover tax Is an Im
possibility, even if we would be able
to produce the goods needed to ar
range for Its distribution and con
sumption. .
We must take Into consideration I
that we have not only to produce j
the additional goods to the value of i
34 billions, but also the much greater i
amount required for the rest of the j
people very eager to get a much i
greater share than they get now.
Good luck to the younger genera
tion.
They have to face this problem and
Incidentally must provide enough
values In addition to their require
ments and the pension funds to pro
vide for the ever-Increasing interest
on our existing debts and their final
liquidation.
So, to them, a happy New Yearl
(THE END.)
perlty Is to pass a law or wave a
wand, DEPRESSION WILL CON
TINUE. Prosperity will return only If and
when we are all willing to work
for It.
The politicians tell us otherwise,
but they are WRONO.
IN our attitude toward depressions
and the way to recover from them,
we are queer.
If someone were to tell us that li
we dropped a rock off the roof of
the house or over the edge of a preci
pice. It would FALL UPWARD, we
would laugh at him. We wouldn't
even try auch a fool thing, because
we KNOW what would happen.
But when the politicians tell us
we can all vote ourselves rich, we
listen to them.
PROSPERITY comes often to those
who get out and hustle for it.
It comes SELDOM to those who tit I
on the front porch and wait for
it to come along.
If. In the twelve months that are
now beginning, we will all do more
hustling and less sitting and wait
ing for the politicians to bring pros
perity to us and dump it into our
laps. 1935 will be a better year.
