RIS R Tas, e AT S AT S Is Pres1dent Woodrow Wilson D1sloyal‘7 THE National Nonpartisan League has been accused by the profiteers and the kept press of dlsloyalty. Do you understand why? The League has stood steadfastly for the war to make the world safe for democracy —but at the same time it has fought for democracy in the United States. 4 The League has stood steadfastly for the conscription of men to raise an army—but at the same time it has stood for the conscription of dollars to pay the expenses of war. The League has stood steadfastly for price-fixing on wheat—but at the same time 1t bas urged that prices be fixed so as to cut out all profiteering on all products. Who objects to this? Profiteers—and it is easy to see why. And who has called the League disloyal? Not the federal government—not the postoffice department—not the department of justice—and all of these agencies have been quick to seek out and punish disloyalty. Then who? Prof- iteers and their officials in power and their kept press. Do you want to know what the Nonpartisan league stands for and what it is fighting for? Then read the story told by a man whom even profiteers dare not call disloyal. President Wilson has told the story of what the League is fighting for and what it is fighting ag'amst in his book, .“The New Freedom.” Profiteers would like to suppress this book no doubt—but they don’t dare call the president of the United States disloyal—not yet. But some of their bought and paid for sheriffs have refused to allow speakers and organizers to even read aloud from this book. Down in Texas a bunch of profiteer flunkies made a speclal trip out to an orgamzer’s house to get a copy of the seditious book he was quoting from—they wanted to send it to Washington for investigation. But when they found out it was the president’s book they backed up. That’s the kind of sedition and disloyalty the Nonpartisan league is guilty of. If You Want to Know What the League Stands For—Read The New Freedom Here are a few quotations which show why profxteers don’t want the kind of “new freedom” that President Wilson tells about and for which the Nonpartisan league is fighting: On page 201—“We have restricted credit, we have restricted op- On page 107—“The men who have been ruling America must con- League Library, Presxdent Wilson’s “New Freedom and “The High Cost of Living.” portunity, we have controlled development, and we have come.to-be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and domi- nated, govemments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” On page 77—“1 want the people to come .in and ‘take possession of their own premises; for I hold that the government belongs to the people, and that they- have a right to that intimate access to it which lpdetermme every turn of its policy.” On page 91—“We must learn, we freemen, to meet as our fathers did, somehow, somewhere, for consultatlon There must be discussion and debate, in which all freely participate.” sent to let the majority into the game.” On page 108—“I am not afraid of the American people gettmi -and doing something. I am only afraid they will not; and when I - a popular vote spoken of as mob government, I feel like telling the man who dares so to speak that he has no right to call himself an American.” The Nonpartlsan league has sold thousands of copies of this book.
