And Mr. Volcker is obedient as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. not to the 14.000 commercial banks that form the backbone of that system. but to no more than about 6 or at best 7 of the most powerful interests that have sold out Americas interest. It is they that at the bottom are responsible for our workingman to be pitted. to compete with every coolie and every peon in the world. They talk about the fact that you do not want to go into any kind of protective effort to our industry and our working people because that would be against free trade and you have free trade. which is ridiculous in view of the barriers that the countries have. even our socalled allies. against our products. They want America to continue to be the consumer. the customer of last resort.
