Told You So

business of "outlawing" war-a
business in which our good MAJ
Kellogg is directing,-that shout
be taken note of by husky youna
men whose physiques are entitled ia
favorable consideration by draft
board doctors when the next "war
to end war" breaks out. Practically
all the liberals and pacifists have
swallowed the Kellogg treaty with.
out a grimace. Perhaps, because il
is pre-war stuff-pre the next war,
Radicals however are not accustomed
to take the anti-war maneuvers of
the imperialists seriously, except in
the light of war preparations.
HOW can any intelligent and honest
- person believe that a country
that is now at war with Nicaragua
for no reason in the world except
that the workers and peasants of
Nicaragua insist on defending them
selves against Wall Street exploita-
ton, honestly aim to abolish war as
means of settling international
disputes? Yet the papers are de-
luged with hokum in favor of this
fake treaty. Norman Thomas the
socialist and Adolph Ochs the multi
millionaire owner of the New York
Times are supporting Kellogg's wal
maneuver under the guise of peace
THE truth is that this KELLOGG
treaty is maneuver against the
League of Nations which is right now
IN England's vest pocket And be.
ing maneuver against the league
II is maneuver against England
Several straws show which wav the
winds of the next war are blowing.
For instance, Kellogg is said to be
preparing an arbitration pact with
Egypt. The British foreign office
has raised its monocle and looked
severely in the general direction Of
Washington. What are the Ameri.
can bllghters up to? Fawncy deals
ing with a country which is unde,y
the protection" of the Mother
Country! The British are jolly well
willing to look after Egyptian in.
terests, that is the interests OF
Britain's capitalists in Egypt.
THIS is rather queer business fol
Mr.. Kellogg to engage in if he il
so anxious to avoid war. Would Mr.
Kellogg look with an unconcerned
eye on the intrusion OF the British
government into the affairs of Mic.
aragua which the American govern.
ment is willing to chaperon with
marines? 1t would seem to an limo.
cent bystander that these two an.
perlalist powers are poaching or
each other and | would not be a Bit
surprised to see American news
papers that uphold the rape of Mic.
aragua protest against the rape Of
Egypt by the British.

This is the first time that the Com.

A NEW YORK tabloid got nicely
"A taken in, it appears on the "Sia-

that one of the girls was in love and
wished to be surgically separated
