NEW YORK: Charles M. Schwab says: "The German gun which has been bombarding Paris may do for killing women and children at long distance but I doubt it's military value. We could make such gun easily. It might be made practical ble for certain distances, but still believe it to be of little military use for 60 to 100 miles. There is under construction an American gun which shots 16-inch pro jectile 59 miles. That is the gun we are building for coast defense at Sandy Hook"

Proflteers Defined

Socialists, particularly in Eng
land, used the word "profteers"
long before the war. Pretty often
they meant by it whoever seeks a
profit. Taken in that sense ev-
erybody in business or in a gain
full occupation is either a profit
eer or an idiot; for business is a
quest of profit. That is its ever
constant motive. In a great ma
jority of the ordinary everyday
decisions that are made hour by
hour a man takes this course
rather than that because he
thinks it will be profitable.
And this applies as much to the
farmer, the plumber and the
dentist as to Morgan. Workmen
strike in the hope of profting by
it.
War has popularized the word
here, but we need a definition of
it. Senator Borah, commenting
on the Presidents revenue mes
sage, in which he said profteer-
ing existed here, recently offered
definition, to-wit: "The man
who takes advantage of his coun-
try's perilous situation to gather
extraordinary profits; who is TAX
ing advantage of his country S
stress and trial to increase enor.
mously, unjustly and unfairly his
individual gain"
lie we stick to that definition
the entire country can agree hear
tily that profteer is wretch
for whom no punishment is toe
severe. But a high rate of profit
is not always evidence Of prof
teeing. The day before thes,
lines were written a farmer
showed us check for drove Of
hogs.
He had happened to be so sit
uated that he could feed the
brutes at a very low cost. His
profits may have been hundred
per cent. But that's no reason
for hanging him. Because an I'LL
equipped, poorly managed bus
mess makes only a third Of
the profit of a we'll.
equipped, ably managed business
it is by no means three times al
patriotic. The intention to take
advantage of the country's stress
in order to gouge is what consti
tutes the crime Saturday Even
ing Post.
