Why Don't Those Damn Oil Companies Fly

Out Of War Nations Acquire Additional Territory, If They Are Victorious. They Just Take It. This Newly Acquired Territory Promptly Is Exploited By The Few - The Selfsame Few Who Wrung Dollars Out Of Blood In The War. The General Public Shoulders The Bill.

War Is A Racket. It Always Has Been. It Is Possibly The Oldest, Easily The Most Profitable, Surely The Most Vicious.

...senate Doc. # 259. The 65th Congress(:)...the Coal Companies Made Between 100% And 7,856% On Their Capital Stock During The War (to End All Wars, Wwi). ...the Leather People Sold Your Uncle Sam Hundreds Of Thousands Of Saddles For The Calvary. But There Wasn't Any Calvary Overseas!

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.

For A Great Many Years, As A Soldier, I Had A Suspicion That War Was A Racket; Not Until I Retired To Civil Life Did I Fully Realize It.
