For A Great Many Years,

The Normal Profits Of A Business Concern In The United States Are Six, Eight, Ten, And Sometimes Twelve Percent. But War-time Profits - Ah! That Is Another Matter - Twenty, Sixty, One Hundred, Three Hundred, And Even Eighteen Hundred Per Cent - The Sky Is The Limit.

I Helped Make Mexico, Especially Tampico, Safe For American Oil Interests In 1914. I Helped Make Haiti And Cuba A Decent Place For The National City Bank Boys To Collect Revenues In. I Helped In The Raping Of Half A Dozen Central American Republics For The Benefits Of Wall Street. The Record Of Racketeering Is Long. I Helped Purify Nicaragua For The International Banking House Of Brown Brothers In 1909-1912. I Brought Light To The Dominican Republic For American Sugar Interests In 1916. In China I Helped To See To It That Standard Oil Went Its Way Unmolested.

I Believe In Adequate Defense At The Coastline And Nothing Else. If A Nation Comes Over Here To Fight, Then We'll Fight. The Trouble With America Is That When The Dollar Only Earns 6 Percent Over Here, Then It Gets Restless And Goes Overseas To Get 100 Percent. Then The Flag Follows The Dollar And The Soldiers Follow The Flag.

There Are Only Two Things We Should Fight For. One Is The Defense Of Our Homes And The Other Is The Bill Of Rights.

A Few Profit - And The Many Pay. But There Is A Way To Stop It. You Can't End It By Disarmament Conferences. You Can't Eliminate It By Peace Parleys At Geneva. Well-meaning But Impractical Groups Can't Wipe It Out By Resolutions. It Can Be Smashed Effectively Only By Taking The Profit Out Of War.
