THE WORST THING ABOUT WAR
It has been said that when w a r is declared tin* firs t th in g
th a t goes out o f the w indow is tru th , and althoug h the average
A m erican is in te llig e n t enough to detect propaganda in moat
form s, the issues are oftentim es confusing and the present tim e
is no exception.
I t ’s hard fo r most o f the common ru n o f people to do w ith
out sugar, rubber and many o f the other necessities o f life and
undergo hardships which w a r brings about and ye t have a
suspicion that there are a good many w ar e ffo rts th a t are being
bungled, that much e ffo rt is being d uplicate d and that a lot o f
unnecessary governm ent bureaus are s till in « xistence. In the
last w a r there were over 500 m illio n a ire s made in the U nited
States and in the present struggle, despite the th re a ts o f h ig h e r
taxes and the lim itin g o f p ro fits , there may emerge even a g re a t
er number. The ch ie f d ifference is that the p o liticia n s, not the
in d u s tria lis ts , m ay benefit.
W hat are we doing about it * dust g ru m b lin g . The present
c o n flic t is so stupendous that i f corners could be cut. we w ould
not know even where to s ta rt.
