A certain wise man, a scientist
says there is no use worrying about
falling stars! that it takes several
centuries for one of them to reach
the earth. That’s all right for
stars that have just started to fall,
but what about those which started
several centuries ago?
How long, we inquire, will the
common people of Europe stand
for this war. They seem to like it,
judging by the way they subscribe
for the government loans, no mat
ter how many of their kin are killed
off, maimed or blinded for life.
Here is the Italian government's
last loan, over-subscribed and some
people disappointed because they
couldn’t get any of the bonds. As
long as the common people of a
country want war by being willing
to finance it Henry Ford’s chances
for declaring peace are not very
good.

’‘You know it is not an easy matter to
get children to take medicine, and forcing
