TT is interesting to know that the
United States army secures its
supply of swords from Germany. It
would not be surprising to learn that
the German army buys its bayonets
from the United States. Should Wall
Street have another scrap with the
German ruling class, Johnny Smith
from Davenport, Iowa, may be carving
the anatomy of Hans Won Groll, from
Baden-Baden, with a big knife manu-
featured by the Krupp workers in the
Ruhr. And it is quite possible the
deadly weapon may have been the
handiwork of the aforementioned
Hans Won Groll. Talk about men cut
ting twigs to beat themselves with!
WHO would have thot seven years
w ago that the proud doughboys
of the United States. would carry
swords made by the hated Hun?
The boobery, were booberized by the
class conscious babbitry, into the be-
lief that no good loyal son of the U.
IS. A. would ever wrap his teeth
around n hot xr,fouar Iaut h{n co,,r ~
deiled by the flavor of that most
delicious 2 o'clock-in-the morning deli
cacy. But the U. S. generals learned,
by heresay, that the Germans made
sharp swords, and once the war was
over there was no reason why the
late unpleasantness should be allowed
to interfere with the job of slaughter
ing some other enemy in the future.
DURING the war, British ammuni-
- ton factories were turning out
guns and shells, which paid a hand
some royalty to German investors.
The more shells the British used up
the more money the Germans who had
money invested in English munition
factories made. English capitalists
had money invested in Krupps., When
forty or fifty thousand British tom
mics" were moved down on the west
ern front by Krupp shells, some Brit
fish capitalist could throw out his
chest and say to himself: "That means
a good addition to my bank roll" Is
it any wonder that these patriots"
were not anxious to stop the fight
ing?
ITALY has launched a move to in
crease her naval and military
forces and the news is said to have
caused uneasiness in Washington.
EVERYBODY is doing it" is Mussolinis
!, alibi Italy plans to have one of the
largest air navies in the world. Poi
son gas and aviation are considered
the two most important war weapons
nowadays. What a fuss the allied
propagandists made when the Ger
mans first used poison gas in France?
What lying hypocrites our capitalist
moralists are! What happened to the
war to end war;?
THE fake economic expert who
l. writes in the Chicago Tribune
under the name of "Scrutator" does
not see much unemployment in his
travels. Walking into an employment
agency, he learned that there were
jobs going a-begging. Mechanics
were wanted at wages running from
70 cents to $3.50 an hour. Employ
ment office chairs were empty. Once
in a while a young lad would walk in,
look at the board, and walk out
again. The idea of paying ten dollars
to these sharks for job that may not
last twenty-four hours is not very
tempting.
A CORRESPONDENT comments on
"A Scrutator's bunk in the following
fashion: Anyone knows the reason
that a mechanic will not give $1,000
to bunch of swindlers. A mechanic
would have a better chance of winning
his $1,000 as bet on Kid Murphys
