Show War and the Profiteer Mrs. Eose Pastor Phelps-Stokes said nt a tea In New York: "War Is hideous, and the world realizes It at last. The only man who sees beauty In war nowadays is the profiteer. "It's like the chap that stood on the promenade deck and gazed with tear-dimmed eyes at a school if spouting spout-ing whales. " 'Ah,' he said, 'ain't that beautiful, beauti-ful, though!' " 'Curious, perhaps,' said a Bos-tonlan. Bos-tonlan. 'Hardly beautiful.' "It's beautiful to me' sobbed the other man, 'for I'm a plumber, I am, nnd these spouts remind me Irresistibly Irre-sistibly of a magnificent line of busted water pipes.' " |
