"The way things have been going
al Washington Is an insult 70 the
intelligence Of any thinking, reflect
ing person. The people Of the
United States are neutral; the gov
eminent at Washington Is un-
questionable p~ro-english. Time will
show that this is a terrible mistake
OF all the countries in the world
that should be absolutely neutral Is
the United States. This country is
the melting-pot of the world. All
nations are represented here. Mil
lions of Germans, and people Of Ger
man descent reside here-good, solid,
substantial citizens. BY what right,
either legal or moral, has our
President, who after all is nothing
more than the servant Of the people,
drawing a salary paid by all the
people, to show a partially to the
allies and in this way grossly al
front a large section Of our popu-
lation? MIR. Wilson's actions have
undoubtedly e~ngendered a hatred in
Germany against the United States
that will last for many years, and
created a bitterness in the hearts
Of thousands of COMMUNICATIONS
in this country.
We have always been at peace
with Germany, whereas we have been
at war with England twice and
tie whole world knows there
probably would have been no Civil
War if the South had not known it
had the moral and financial backing
of England. English people bought
$500, 900, 900 worth Of Confederate
bonds. Is this a one man govern
ment. OF a democracy? Are we ruled
at Washington by a Gar, or have
we a representative government
there? If practically n mar can
issue war ultimatums then Lincon's
saying that this is a Government
Of the people, by the people and
for the people, is nothing but a
mockery. If Mr.. Wilson's contention
is correct, an English boat, flying
the English flag can enter the port
of New York, load up with thousands
Of cases of ammunition, have a
number of cannons in its bow; take
one .or two Americans (anyone who
knows anything about u Eastern
ports, knows that with a bottle Of
whiskey and a piece Of tobacco you
can get all the buns you want to
sail on these boatsl, and then sail
into the war zone and be practically
immune from submarine. Did you
ever hear of such n~onsensei? Because
a few fool Americans sail on Eng
hsh boats. when they can just as
well sail on American or neutral
ships, is the peace, happiness and
prosperity Of 100,0O0,000 people to
be endangered. What do you think
Of the patriotism Of an American
who will unnecessarily endanger his
country? Is his life worth saving ?
Our great Senator, Gilbert NJ. Hitch
cock, has from the beginning con-
sistently held that we should not ex-
port ammunition and that Americans
should be warned Of beligerent
ships. IF President Wilson is cor
rect, then we practically guarantee
safe delivery Of ammunition to
England.
Back of it all is the Italian hand
of Wall Street. The slogan of this
financial crowd has been right along:
the allies have got to win. Wall
Street to a man is for the allies.
Whatever Wall Street unitedly wants,
you may rest assured is not for
the best interest Of the American
people. They want to make good on
the $780, 00, 900 worth Of bonds that
are largely on their hands; and to
gain their point, they will stop at
nothing not even, throwing this
country into war. As yet you
haven't heard Of any Of the sons
eff the predatory rich rushing TO
Canada to enlist. When the time
comes, they viii let the workingmen
do that. Mr.. Wilson says "We want
preparedness How does he know
We do7 Has he taken a poll Of
the farmers Of Nebraska to find
out what they really want2 Has
he taken a vote of the w~orkingmen
Of Omaha, the carpenters, the
bricklayers, the conductors, the rail-
road men and so on indefinitely to
find out what they want2 Of course,
not. II is Wall Street with IFS

hirelings Of all kinds, its subsidized
