between private industry and govern

vThen an individual or a corporation
cv^n our largest oncs-bcgins to feel
an economic squeeze, they will, in
the final analysis turn to governmon
controls and political monopoly v/hic
are no loss repugnant to the average
American than economic monopoly.
Through joining forces in coopera
tion, farmers or consumers can usu
ally find a way out of their econ
omic difficulties without calling
upon government for help and submit
ting to government controls.
7c must not permit any monopoly
seeking group to crush the cooper
ative movement, thereby making eas
ier the establishment of corporate
monopolies or forcing the alterna
tive of government controls.
Both corporations emu government ar,
essontiel parts of the American way
of life, but neither should be per- j
mitted to secure a monopolistic coi -

It is individual initiative that has
made our country great and individ

Don’t take. your cooperative for
granted. Show an interest in it.
.Attend your meetings. Keep your
guard up and don’t got caught nap
ping. Vigorous support of 'either
farm or urban cooperatives is sup
port for a free competitive system
for our nation. It is support of
a better living for farm people and
lower expenses for the consuming
family.
