﻿Queen Elisabeth is here in all her warpaint. 
It won’t be long now until Brittain and France bring their country over here for safe keeping 
I do not know what guarantees Uncle Sam gives but I spose they are good, plentiful and sufficient  
I’d hate however to bet on $50.000.000 dinghy. 
Wisconsin is here loading “red-brass.” 
So, as I was saying, best thinkers assure me there is no need for any man to go hungry and every time you skip a meal the employers (industrialists) can buy seven steel-nosed bullets with the money and those seven bullets fast. Clearly a profit for overseers of both sides of the international friction. 
The assumption here is that “it is patriotism” and it may be—but the facts belie the assumption and the day is approaching when the Westwall and Mignot shall prove a white-elephant, militarism’s folly. 
“The Age of Chiselry?” 
“Incomes” for our own industrial magnates is so commonplace and prolific that were it not for the haunt of the income tax they wouldn’t have the slightest conception as to the amount and speed with which it piles in and naturally when income floods in at the rate of one or two million dollars a year many, many equally deserving pillars of society are forced on short rations, chicken feed , and must of needs join the gangsters or step out and rob the WPA workers. 
Loyalties generally follow economic interests. 
As, to illustrate: Western Poland’s hear is in Germany because Germany buys her industrial production—first hate, then tolerance, finally respect. 
Vienna was relieved of the choking influence of circumscribed supporting acres Even so as a farmers heart is democratic because he get barbwire cheaper under a democratic administration 
And where reverse is true, loyalty is flown. 
Let us then get more wages so that we may become still more loyal.
