Steel N PATRIOTISM.

The government has brought the steel trust tt
time.
The idea has been circulated that the steel mer
voluntarily gave up the possibility of "war prof.
it's. 1t isn't true. The government threw out
a few hints of what would be done in certain con.
tingencies and the steel trust knew that this was
no time to appeal to the courts"
The trust accordingly agreed, "in a patriotic
spirit" to furnish all the steel required at a price
to be fixed after The war is over.
The trust is perfectly safe. 1t knows fully
that the price to be decided upon will leave a
nice ~proft-maybe a "war profit"

and it is only necessary to furnish the funds when

The Y. M. C. A. saw the task ahead, tackled
it and is already conquer.ng.
It cannot be truthfully denied that Wilson is in
a position to know more about war purchases than
any other man, and he says the government is
getting the stuff at fair prices. That puts the
kibosh on NAL bunch of sensational liars.
