Show iA GERMAN ARGUMENT IN OGDEN ! There are many subtle pro-German arguments being circulated by loyal Americans who do not know that they aro the distributors of German-made thought. Tho Red Cross has been i asked time and again regarding some of the most foolish and absurd things. It is surely an insult to any man's thinking ability to tell him. that any J of tho Rod Cross supplies will be sold I for commercial gain, yet some pro-f pro-f Germans in Ogdon aro doing thoir best to mako people bollove that tho knitted knit-ted and sowed garments will be sold for profit. Every person of intelligence intelli-gence knows that tho Red Cross sells not a dollar's worth of tho goods made for tho soldiers or the needy. Tho argumont that Is being worked overtime in Ogden is the oldost pro-Gorman pro-Gorman argument It is that tho war will soon bo ovor and that there is no noed to give money to any war-work or spend tho time in making supplies for tho war will bo over beforo tfiey will be needed. It Is UBed against food and coal conservation as well. It was used lo causo strikes in the shlp-buildlng yards and in the Union Iron works. It is the oldest and most foolish, as yell as most potent, argumont the German element In America is using. Whonever any one tolls you that tho war will soon be over, remember that is the most universal "made-In-Gcr-many" weapon in this war. That argument ar-gument does its best to stop enlistments, enlist-ments, stop food conservation, stop Red Cross work, slop ship building and in short, stop all the work to bring any victory to our arms. If we can bo kept from active war work, then we are .easy to defeat. Any. man or woman who presents that thought to you is consciously or unconsciously un-consciously an enemy at heart and Is falling in line with tho argument that has done more than any other to hinder hin-der the soldiers, the workers, the government gov-ernment in this war. |
