our automobiles, nails for our houses, or girders for our sky-scrapers. The whole country has gone to loafing' And everybody you see is short of something that more work at the right place would suPPlY.

Things do not add up. We go into a world war and burn up billions of dollars worth of our goods, blow up and dest.oy trillions of dollars worth of lives and factories abroad and then come out with semi-starvation, half-nakedness, and utter homelessness for millions upon millions of the earth's people. And our remedy for that is to work less than we ever did before or to'quit work altogether in the mad expectation of getting a greater share of what u'e refirse to helP produce.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is your New Jerusalem, with its leisure, its security, its joy, and its blessed peace of mind. How do you like it? Arise, ye sons and daughters of liberalism and take arms against your sea of disillusionment. If the five-day week produces too little, let's raise everybody's wages and quit work altogether' Sixty million jobs with nothing to do, nothing to eat, nothing to wear-we can have our New Jerusalem yet.
