service, none of us have a chance to
survive,” Senator Arthur Vanden

The senator added:
“It is fine to say in case 3f wealth
that wealth ought to be shared as,

but wealth to be sensibly shared,
must be widely shared. Business has
to succeed before it can 'make jobs.
Morey must go to work before men
go to work.”
