It had been playing tinny music only a minute ago! But then a crackle, a snarl, and then a gruff female voice breaks into the regularly broadcast tunes. It says:
The future of the world rests in the hands of America. The future of America rests on the backs of 80,000,000 working men and women and their children. We are facing a grave crisis in our national life. The few who profit from the labor of the masses want to organize the workers into an army which will protect the interests of the capitalists. You are urged to add to the heavy burdens you already bear the burden of a larger army and many additional warships. It is in your power to refuse to carry the artillery and the dread-noughts and to shake off some of the burdens, too, such as limousines, steam yachts and country estates. You do not neet to make a great noise about it. With the silence and dignity of creators you can end wars and the system of selfishness and exploitation that causes wars. All you need to do to bring about this stupendous revolution is to straighten up and fold your arms.Dear Jesus! you say. Is that Helen Keller, or who? Give me back my fucking music. Give me back my Elvis Presleys. And cut it out with the Marxist propaganda!
