Mr.. Steinhauser scored the surer-
patriots, who, during the war, shouted
themselves hoarse with cries Of pro-
Germanism and even more debasing'
epithets, hurled at everyone who did
not do their bidding. These ultra-loy-

fintimidate. They were prompted by
Interior motives. Since the hostilities
have ceased, it has been found that the
vicious propaganda against the people
who opposed the war profteers and big
business in general is not working SO
successfully any more. It has also been
proven that those who have something
to conceal are attempting to divert the
attention Of the people from vital matters,
