“Gentlemen, we are in grave danger of peace” It happened in Europe. The Board of Directors of a huge munitions company was in session. Conditions had been great. War scares filled the air, nations were busy insulting each other, good profitable hate smouldered in every breast. Naturally the company’s factories ran day and night, and dividends were fat as pampered hogs. But the past month had been disturbing. People began to show a distressing tendency toward tolerance. Threats were giv- ing way to reasonableness. War scares were subsiding. And the Chairman of the Board made the historic remark to his fellow-directors: “Gentlemen, we are in grave danger of peace!” They say that in Europe munition moguls deliberately stir up war scares in order to sell more of their dandy devices for kill- ing people. There are a lot of Americans, too, who think there’s big money to be made out of war. However, it is extremely doubtful if the economic structure of any country could survive another war. Our only hope of preventing complete economic catastrophe is to stay out of war and the dealings that lead to war. And our only hope of doing that is an enlightened and determined effort to stay at peace. We're making such an effort, and we'd like to hear from people who would like to help us.

We can’t let him out of our sight.” “We'll see that justice is done, Joe, if it takes ten years!” “After New York he's going to take in half a dozen big league games, a luxury cruise on the lakes and then head back for the races at Santa Anita, if any of that thirty grand in stolen bonds is left.”” “What a case to be working on, Joe, what a case! Tell me more!” “Well, after Santa Anita I understand he’s going to spend a couple of weeks with some old pals at some place in the mountains. Bimplekopp’s Tavern, I think it’s called.
