A Fine, Strong Appeal

President Wilson eloquently appeals to the
business interests to be periodically unsefish, to
forego taking large profits, to be especially gen.
erous to the employee, ETC., etc.
1t is fine appeal. We hope that it will meet
with decided and most effective response, but,
if it does, Mr.. Wilson will stand as the most in
fluential executive this nation ever had and our
country will have arrived at degree of altruism
heretofore unrecorded in all the annals of the
human family.
The most immediate response to that appeal
seems to be a yell by the copper kings for Mr.
Wilson's troops to safeguard their almighty war
profits
