versity of New Haven, Conn, and Is beyond dispute truth that can not be denied, It Is on par with another book published recently by H. c. Engelbtecht, Ph.D,, asso- ciate editor of The World Tomor- row, which was entitled, "Mer- chants of Death" and was an eX- pose of the International Arma- ment Trust, that created a furror on its publication some months ago. Both books deal with facts that cannot be contraverted. The war behind the war now, and in 1916 is revealed, and the actors depicted who engineered the star tragedy of how this country was tricked in the World War, as 1t is being tricked again today by lying propaganda, which is avoWed to entangle us even at the cost of our country as free na- ton, Facts speak for themselves,
 When the lst World War be- ban in 1914, President Wilson called upon the country to remain neutral, even in thought. When the armiStice was signed in 1918 there were 2l,000 new American millionaires, Du Pont stock had gone from $20 to 5000 a share, and J. P. Morgan was said to have made more money in two years than the older Morgan had made in all his life.
 The War Trafilckers
 In 1917 on the floor of Congress 1t was charged that as early as March, 1915, the Morgan interests had organized and financed q huge propaganda machine includ- ing 12 influential publishers and l97 newspapers, for the purpose of "persuading" the American people to join the Allies. Further more, the French historian and politician, Gabriel Hanotaux, tells in his history of the war that in 1914 he and member of the Morgan flrm had drawn up plans for a great war-scare campaign In the United States in order to embroil the country in war. He adds that France was ready for peace in 1914, that the Morgan partner dissuaded French leaders from talking peace at that time.
 When war was actually in the ofIlng, the war trafflckers rejoiced. President Wilson had just made his war address to Congress and Wall Street replied, Tt was C. actly right" and Judge Gary of the steel trust said, Tt was 100 per cent American. Said Frank Vanderlip of tho National City bank. "The speech breathes the true spirit of the American peo- ple." "The Presidents speech was magnificent" said James Wallace, head of the Guaranty Trust Go.
 A few days after diplomatic re- 'lations were broken of Wall Street was bright with the Stars and Stripes floating from banks and brokerage houses. On the Produce Exchange 300 brokers sang "The Star Spangled Ban- ner". The stocks scared to the sky limit. The U. s. was in the war from April 2 1917 to Nov. II, l9l8 Tn that period the U. s. spent $22, ,625, ,252 .843 and advanced another $9,455, ,04l,125 to the AL lies. Wall Street was the absolute guarantee of Allied credit by the Wilson government. History re- peats itself in 1941.
 The most dangerous factor in the world today is the arms maker, called the merchant of death-a promoter of war-an hindrance to peace. Governments spend four and half billion dol- lars every year to keep up their war machines. This colossal sum is spent by representatives of the people. The root of the trouble goes deeper than the arms indus try. It lies in the prevailing tenn per of the people towards nation alism and war in the civilization which formS this temDer and Dre--
