Possibly to the youthful king harked back to the beautiful breakfasts a la king and compared them with a possible barbwire-mush a la concentration camp. Ho hom, the preparedness of the Westwall and Maginot did not prevent war, did it? 
Seems to me it only improved the quality. 
The Brittish fleet didn’t prevent the war, did it? 
Seems to me aal those preparations were just so much workers wealth tossed into a stinkhole. Aw, go on, toss in another billion—you may as well be crazy as the way you are.

GAR has been in training the past week for the Decoration Day Parade—I imagine there was quite a demand for Omega Oil and Sloan’s Liniment. It will be remembered the boys in blue fought the boys in gray over the question of splitting the union of states, as it appeared. 
It did not appear on the chart, at the time, that the missunderstanding was over the question of chattel slavery and what is now recognized as wage slavery—the question of emancipation of negroes, from chattel slavery into wage slavery and home relief, came much later as a by-product of the war. Such questions as the relative merit of chattel and wage slavery would never come up did the nation have the guts of a frightened rabbit and embrace industrial democracy for a running mate to political democracy. 
Of course it you would court perdition, clasped in the tentacles of “slavery days,” who am I to toll you nay?
