"We ask that the government undertake the obligation of providing citizens with the opportunity for employment and earning a living.

 "The activities of individuals must not be allowed to clash with the interests of the community, but must take place within its confines and be for the good of all.

"Therefore, we demand an end to the power of the financial interests. We demand profit sharing in big business. We demand a broad expansion of care for the aged. We demand the greatest possible consideration of small businesses in the purchases of the national, state, and local governments.

"In order to make possible to every capable and industrious citizen the attainment of higher education, and thus the achievement of a post of leadership, the government must provide an all around enlargement of our entire system of public education. We demand the education, at government expense, of the gifted children of poor parents.

 "The government must undertake the improvement of public health by protecting mother and child, by prohibiting child labor, by the greatest possible support for all (organizations) concerned with the physical education of youth.

"We combat the materialistic spirit within and without us and are convinced that the permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of: Common good before the individual good."
