It looks like a clever :scheme. At first sight one would believe it was a religious paper, so numerous are the Biblical quotations. There are also several items from the Dearborn In- dependent, which is Henry Ford's special pet. NO one will accuse the Bible of 'teaching people that they shouldn't work to feed themselves. And who ever heard anyone who was employed' by Mr. Ford mention the fact that they didn't have to work ' while they were an hispayroll. The y meaning of quotations from these two •sources is -twisted to prove that it is evil to take , interest or to pay taxes: which is another way of say - hag people should not work; that all business should come to a standstill.
