NOT FOR WAR PROFITS.

SO far as it can be learned, the
masses in Germany believe that our
munitions makers control our Pres.
ident and Congress and are urging war
for sake of the profits therefrom. T.
is too bad that the German people
are prevented from learning the
truth.
The German people do not know
that, instead of being after greater
profits, many of our big manufactur.
ers are offering their plants to the
government absolutely without
thought of Profit and that in respect
of warship building, as one instance,
the corporations are now making
deals with the government on a 10
per cent profit basis, an arrangement
which will be carried out with re
spect to other war equipment, once
war actually begins. 1t will not be
war for private profit, and we do wish
that the German masses could know
how actually patriotic some OF our
corporations have become.
