Every Housewife, Householder, Wage-earner and Trader (wholesale or retail) who is opposed to Profiteering is urged to join our League. Every loading paper-in the United Kingdom is out against Profiteering. The Editor of the “ London Times” sayslgnoble war profiteers, enriched beyond the dreams of their selfish avarice, flaunt their shameful gains before all eyes, justly disdainful of the Prime. Minister’s earlier promises to compel them to disgorge.” “ The Country expects Parliament to do its duty without slavish adherence to any political banner.” Once we are organised with the voice of the People behind ns, we shall drive home our demands for fair treatment. All Electors are invited to join, as the widest possible membership is vital to success. WE ARE NOT OUT FOR GAIN. WE WANT WEIGHT OF NUMBERS BEHIND US, SO THAT WE CAN VOICE THE SENTIMENTS OF THE PUBLIC. Join the People’s League and help to get Clean Administration and Justice for All. Subscription I/- per annum.
