Their tight, however, will be in vain. Patriotism is not the monopoly of gentlemen who are serving their Government on a basis of 500 per cent or 1000 per cent profit. Wall ¡Street gamblers and profiteers will not blacken the character of Henry Ford, who worked for peace while there was hope of peace and who works only for his Na­ tion’s victory now. You need no explanation of these attacks on Ford by men who call themselves patriots. You know the brand of patriotism that steals fifty mill­ ions from the Government and gives fifty thousand to the Ked Cross. You know the brand of j^itriotism that buys the work­ men’s labor and sells the workman liis food and always arranges it so that the amount he gets paid for his work is barely enough to pay for what he must eat in order to work again the next day. 1 Today think over the case of Henry Ford. Don’t forget that what applies to Henry Ford applies equally to every other man who has ever said a good word for the work­ man, jvho ever opposed the theory that a few private in­ dividuals should exploit the people of this country and own the public properties of the country. The profiteering monopolists’ day is soon to end; lucky if they escape in possession of what they have already stolen. And they know it—much to their bitterness. F o rt M adison, la .— N. J.
