But opinion begins to divide when an attempt is made to identify these war profiteers. jj j Thus A. C. Townley. President of the National Non-Partisan League, the new fa mica's1 party, ; I says: "There is a great difference between our patriotism, the patriotism of the men who toil that 2 ' J the profiteers may make $4,000,000,000, and the patriotism of the men who make the billions. While the v; farmers and other producers have been raising crops to feed the armies of liberty, making ships, , j and munitions, and implements of war, a lot of gentlemen have been spending their ample leisure in ! , ; I announcing their patriotism. When you work sixteen hours a day for liberty and democracy, you j '; i have not much time or will to wave the flag. . . . If you were to put in as much time waving it as ' ,0 thev. do, the whole world would starve to death." ij ' $ On the other hand, the New York World, in criticising this same league of farmers, declares jj ; i that ''Every speaker in that interesting 'assembly, holds that although dollar wheat in time of peace J ! f, was considered ideal, the cereal cannot be profitably grown todav unless the government price is 3 ! $3.00 a bushel." ... t : I 3 i ! n the wry interesting leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for September 29th. all phases of the subject of 3 .
