...industry languishes while German workers are busy turning out "half-finished arms and arms parts" which are sold to Russia or shipped to Sweden for completion and thence to Russia, China, etc. It was a pat coincidence that the Foch report was sprung and the British "half-finished arms" scare was popped while Premier Poincare and Chancellor Churchill of the British Exchequer were hobnobbing together in Paris?for these statesmen both oppose the conciliatory attitude toward Germany of Premier Briand and Sir Austen Chamberlain...

Sometimes they pop up in Washington, but their favorite modern playgrounds are in manufacturing cities where sprawling factories belch and whistle, where grimy alleys creep between frame hovels, where workingmen need stimulation Saturday nights. The so-called "better element" becomes excited only on occasions when the Rockefeller Foundation calls Detroit "the vilest city in the country," or when a newspaper publisher is murdered in Canton, Ohio...
