Show Are Our Boys Fighting For This? Are the boys and young men of America sacrificing, suffering and dying to perpetuate such things as the following? follow-ing? A man and his wife invested $5,000 in a tool business for making army goods and in a single year of this war drew out net profits of $430,000 ! And this : An attorney was paid $94,000 for negotiating a war contract which the government itself should negotiate, with the Oldsmobile Co., of Lansing, i; Michigan. Out of a war contract which grossed only $540,000 the Hughes Metal Specialities Co., drew down a profit of $316,000 ! These are but a few instances. Thus the vultures ! of finance are thriving and fattening on the paid and suffer- j ing and agonizing death of the soldiers, sailors and air ! fighters, thinking of nothing but getting rich. But their wealth will perish. Shame upon these mad, wild-eyed monsters mon-sters of greed who never have had a patriotic thought. We believe with our whole soul that this war will end their kind :; of business, and we pray God that the end may come as speedily as possible. |
