real war makers, that is never made
known, because it is or is supposed
to be, the exclusive knowledge of the
worlds invisible super-government.
Nations are made to froth at the
mouth and march the streets of their
cities calling for war. Yes, but why?
Because they have been lied to. And
who has lied to them? The German
people were told that their country
was invaded. The French were told
that their country was invaded.
Neither country was invaded at the
time the stories were told. Even the
Turks cannot be raised to war unless
they are told their country is invad-
ed. The propaganda must be brought
into play before the people can be
worked into the war mood. And it is
because the people have so frequently
discovered afterward that they were
misled as to the facts, that the pres
ent suspicion of government exercises
such sway upon their minds.
First there is the world checker
board on which few men are play
ing their game for world stakes in
wealth and world stakes in power.
These men are comparatively few.
They own and control most of the
raw material consumed in war. They
own and control the bases of the
money of the nations They own and
control certain industries that can
not live without an occasional war to
use up their surplus and boost the
exorbitant scale of prices. They are
the holders of humanitys vehicle of
exchange in money: by devious ways,
best gnown to these super-families
through twenty generations, they en-
mesh, capture and command the weak
men who make up the majority of
the governments.
Now, these men who play the big
game are first to be reckoned with.

THE VILLAGE sMITHY

with apologies to Longfellow)
Under spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he,
He fixes bum brakebands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is done in oil;
His brow is wet with honest sweat
On crank shaft he must toll.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his klaxons blow;
You can see him rushing out to give
Some stranded guy tow.
And children coming home from
school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the smith at work,
And hear the patron roar.
On Sunday he goes not to church,
Nor sits among his boys;
For he must work all day and help
Keep up the motor joys.
Thanks, thanks, to thee, my worthy
friend,
The old bus now will run,
I'll take her out, step on the gas
And steer for the land of Fun.

ing war-like the nation which has
everything to gain and nothing, to
lose by war, is hardly good manage
ment. The remedy should be turned
on where the disorder is most acute.
If the peace propaganda could be
carried into France, or Germany, or
into Italy, or any of the other coun-
tries which still believe that the
sword is the settler of principles,
some result could be looked for. At
least the evangelists of the peace
idea would soon discover that they
were where their preaching was need
ed, whether it was received or not
But what is to be gained in the
United States, aside from forwarding
some other propaganda under the
guise of peace propaganda, is difficult
to see. This nation is agreed on peace.
This nation is not going to break the
peace. This nation supported the first
international instrument of peace
ever set up. This nation will never
provoke another nation to break the
peace. Why limit the preaching of
peare to this country? Is it not
needed elsewhere?
But it is not this alone that
arouses a sense of the ineffectiveness
Of what is being done. The fact is,
there is lack of frankness about the
whole matter. No one is told who
causes war. No one dares to tell why
war is caused. While it is conceded
that war is not like the weather, be-
yond the control of mankind, but is
a = L
man-controlled, it is never asked who
are the men with whom war begins.
No peace prize competition ever
asks for answers to the question:
"Who are the men, alive today, who
have power to cause WARP" No one
hangs up a large sum in cash for cor
rect and provable answers to the
question. "What is the race, what is

Farmers in the Third district are

Green resolution against tax exempt

the reasons the farmers bear such n
