from the wars of Europe and to establish themselves here and to
make a fortune trying to get us into the war, if they want to
fight we're willing to charter a boat to send them back to fight
it. The reason why I make this offer is that I know none of them
will accept the challenge. They are the arm chair patriots who
tell the American people how to fight them over on the other side.
“How about Winston Churchill as a spokesman for democracy?
Let me tell you about Mr. Churchill. His first job was in 1895 when he
was but twenty-one yeers of age and waesa Foreign Legionnaire fight=-
ing for democracy in the Spanish Army down in Cuba, In 1897 he went
to give the Indians a few lessons in democracy. Of course, the voor
Indiens who didn't want that type of democracy aren't living to tell
about it.
"The following year he went with General Kitchener and was a
part of the English force that gave Eygpt a dose of democracy.

are in business, 1 say don't be fooled by the idea that there is
profit in war. You will find out that the Administration has def-

are feeding you on nice Government contracts today, but just wait
ond see, YOu should know by this time what they intend to do.
Ten cents profit today will be wiped out by fifty cents inflation
tomorrow, But the American workingmen will have to vay double.
Isn't it time that we started fighting all these things?
