HOW TIE WAR
 CAME ID AMERICA
Continued from page two.

It was a new and insignificant note in our foreign policy. But the mind of America had learned much in the long bitter months of war. Future historians will make charts of this remarkable evolution in our public opinion; the gradual abandonment of the illusion of isolation; the slow growth of a realization that we could not win freedom on sea for us a vital interest unless we consented to do our share in maintaining freedom on land as we'll, and that we could not have peace in the world-the peace we loved and needed for the per lection of our democracy unless we were willing and prepared 10 help to restrain any nation that wIlIfully endangered the peace of the whole world family.
 Had this address of the Presi- dent come before the war, there would have arisen storm of protest from all sections of the land. But in May, 1916, the Ma tion's response was emphatic approval.

in gouging the public by extort.
ing fabulous prices for produce.
Here we have both ends of the
game the man who produces
and the man who dispenses the
products to the ultimate con.
sumer. 1t reminds me of the
thief who ran with the crowd
crying stop thief Let us take
the grower who, by having to
sell his produce mostly on com
mission, has no control over the
prices his produce is sold for,
but must take what the commits
sion men choose to give him.
How can he be said to gouge the
consumer? As for the grocer,
he can and may advance prices,
and the more he pays the mid
dlemen the greater is apt to be
his profits; but with the iluctua-
ton of uncontrolled prices, he
does not know where he is at.
and often has to lose by Il slump
in the goods he has bought.
If our Uncle Sam wants to
control the farmer, let him jump
right into the game and base the
value of our produce on at least
$500, eight.hour day, with a
fair rate of interest for the CAPT
tai outlay as represented by the
value Of the farm and necessary
machinery for production and
don't think any of us would OBJ
ject. Now apply this principle
to big business. Pay the own
ers Of all manufacturing and
shipbuilding plants $500 for
eight hours per person, and al
low them also a fair rate of in.
terest on the value of their plant.
and such a howl would go UP to
heaven as would drown the roar
of the guns in Europe. Oh, no.
What they are after is not only
profit on the plant, but a profit
on every man they employ. And
so because our dearly beloved
Uncle is taking some of their
enormous war profits they try to
sic the general public on the ex-
plotted farmer aud small grocer.
Can you beat it?
