equally among our fellow citizens of earth.

Why should these unfortunate 62 suffer under such a heavy load? The burden of having so much, when so many others have so little, must be absolutely crushing.

It can do nothing but make them very, very, sick, in heart, mind, and spirit.

The symptoms of this sickness are horrible to behold.
