yo THE THIRD POWER 



margins, greater consumption will result, again ben- 

 efiting the farmers. 



This matter of making prices on farm products is 

 the most important problem before the people of the 

 world. It directly affects half the population of our 

 country (about forty million people) and many 

 other millions in Europe and other countries. As 

 the United States is the great surplus producing 

 country, it can make prices on food products for the 

 world. It has done it in the past, and has set the 

 price too low. The result has been, our farmers are 

 the poorest paid of all laborers in this country, and 

 the European farmers are paupers. Through the 

 Third Power operating through the American So- 

 ciety of Equity prices can be set on an equitable 

 basis, the American farmer will rise to an equality 

 with the best business men of the nation, his profes- 

 sion will be above any other, and the European farm- 

 ers will rise proportionally. 



This is the time for action, not for longer submis- 

 sion. Unless the farmers accept this opportunity I 

 believe the opportunity will pass and a land trust 

 be formed which will forever make it impossible for 

 the rank and file of American farmers to own and 

 keep a portion of God's green earth, but they will 

 be ground down to serfdom indeed.
