vicious trade discrimination
against the United States. He
thinks patience will be exhausted
some day, and "then the Yankee
fighting spirit and ingenuity
will effect quite a change"
If it is only a matter OF
money, Mr.. Hoover, please don't
start a fight. We learn from
the last war that profiteers and
patriots make war so expensive
that nobody can afford it.
We can stand foreign trade
discrimination better than home
made patriots.
For instance, Mr.. Lasker, head
of the Shipping Board, says he
expects to sink the wooden ships
that the patriots made for this
Government in war time.
They cost $250,O0G,000. Nobody
wants them for ships, thou
sands would like to have them
anchored in rivers and bays for
summer homes. But they could
not pay what it would cost to
tow them to destination. There
is nothing for it, according to
Lasker, but to sink them and
stop spending a million year
to take care of them.
Possibly some Of them may
be run ashore where the natives
could break them up for fire
wood. The probability is they
will be sent to the bottom Of
the ocean.
No more war, please, if IT can
honorably be avoided. The army
of homemade patriot leeches is
too dangerous a foe.
