SAFE TALK ABOUT THE WAR:
We may not say that this is cap
italist war, a Wall Street war, or that
II is kept going by and for munition
makers and profiteers. Also, that the
United States government was wrong
in entering it. Mr.. Burlcson says he
won't stand for any such talk, and
what he says goes.
So we Will make a virtue of neces-
sty, and not only not say it, but insist
that we never said II, and never had
any intention Of saying it. Besides,
it's nonsense.
How could this be capitalist war.
anyhow, when every capitalist in the
world solemnly insists that IL isn't his,
and that he doesn't want it, and never
did?
It's a proletarian war, that's what
1t is. They started IL, and they are
keeping it going. They fred the first
shot; that can be positively proven; as
positively proven a. that they were
fools for doing it and fools for still
But we mustn't ask why the capitalists
don't make 'em stop, for that might be
construed as sedition.
1t is not d Wall Street war. either.
1t was started long before Wall Street
bad any knowledge that it was going
to start II 1t started IN any street at
all, perhaps it was Lombard Street, or
Downing Street, though public opinion
inclines to favor Wilhelm Street, or
"Strasse," as it is called in the YER
nacular.
And the munition makers are trying
their very best 10 stop IL, a. they d d
from the very start. They began max
ing munitions to put en- end TO it, TO
shoot il out Of existence. and FOR no
other purpose. Profits being entirely
minor, incidental and, above all, GUS
tomary.
Same with the other profteers. The
war made no difference 20 them; they
were making profits before 1t started.
and The cost Of living was constantly
rising, anyhow.
So our opinion : that either il was

nobody started it, like Iopsy Il lust

A. for the United States being

sheere,t nonsense; and we are not al
lowed to talk nonsense, and would not

The one thing that IL certain about
IL is that some time or other IL will

that is right now. while we're-com-
paratively speaking safe, or thinking

Then the
F abncating Idea

Now came the would-be builders OF
steel ships with their stories of how
easy it would be to turn out steel ships
in fabricating yards. The manufactur-
ers who had at first said that the steel
could not be produced in sufficient
quantities for a great shipbuilding pro-
gramme changed their minds and the
public was RECALLED with stories OF
5,0O0-ton ships to be clipped off at the
rate Of one a day from a sort of gi
gantic ship ribbon. like cookies from
q strip of dough. So the board turned
10 steel ships and the builders of wood
en- ships were discouraged. Meantime,
as has since been disclosed. Chairman
Denman and General Goethals quar-
relied merrily and assidiously. Mean
time, also, the Germans kept right on
sinking ships at a terrific rate The
more ships the Germans sunk. and the
greater the necessity for ships, the
more intense the demoralizing quarrel
in the shipbuilding organization.
This is the way we started out on
what is perhaps the greatest single
task Of the whole vast war enterprise.
While a clever lawyer and an expert
army engineer wrangled over points Of
marine architecture shipbuilders were
baffed and discouraged and turned
their yards over 20 British. Norwegian
japanese and privately owned American
ships. Three months were largely
wasted. while the Allied world looked
on in pity and alarm.
A fine initial demonstration of
American efficiency for war;
