For private business and individual gain,
the government hastily created an Insurance
Bureau, to aid the patriots who did not wish
to pay the same premiums for ocean insur-
ance that the War had forced Englishmen,
Frenchmen, Russians, and Italians to pay.
"For private purposes in the field of bust
ness" the Wilson administration bought out
the silver miners when the Government did
not need the ore, but when the mine owners
were hard up for cash.
"For private purposes in the field of bust
ness" President Wilson gave the word to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, to advance
freight rates all along the line, with the
pleasing result to "business" that the rail
roads cleared a thousand md1zi0n dollars IN
net profits, IN one gear.
Speaking at Topeka, in Feb of this year,
President Wilson said:
'There are some going about proposing
great military establishments for America, but
you have not heard anybody connected with the
Administration who did. 81 Nobody in author
ity nobody in position to lead the policy Of the
country, has proposed great military ornaments,
and nobody who really understands the history or
shares the spirit of America could or would pro-
pose gerat military establishments for America"
Can you easily believe that the statesman"
who delivered this public address, nine
months ago, turned a complete somersault,
sac months ago, and now stands before the
world as the selfsatisfied champion Of
COMPULSORY MILITARISN, q Stand

times, the Empire of Rome, the OUTLAWS Of
Charemagne and Charles v, the Grand
Army of Napoleon, the military establish
ment of Germany, of Russia, and of Great
Britain, all sink below the stupendous sums
Of money which Woodrow Wilson forced
Congress to vote, in May, after he had made
that Topeka speech in February!
The European situation had not changed:
the American situation had not changed; but
Woodrow Wilson had changed-why?
Because he ravenously craved a second
term, and feared he would not get it, unless
he abjectly surrendered to the Jingoes, the
Munition Trust, the Consolidationists, the
Roman Church, and to the voracious capital
lists who mean to establish Protectorates over
Mexico, over Haiti and San Domingo, and
over every Central American state between
us and the Panama Canal
We never have had President who means
less by what he publicly says, than this
pluperfect hypocrite, Woodrow Wilson.
