WASHINGTON CURRENT COMMENT Continued From Page Onp is that there are interests which welcome war because it fills their pockets. The bill has a long way to travel before it becomes positive law, but if it reaches that status two things will be accomplished. Private profit in time of conflict will end, and the men who have to do the fighting at least can feel assured that they are not serving as targets for the purpose of stuffing the pocket books of non-combatants behind roll top desks at home. Add to the profit-stripping feature the fact that the House struck out a provision for the conscription of all men between the ages of 21 and 45, and it becomes evident that one branch of congress thinks that the person to be considered first is the man behind the musket. The presi dent’s signature to legilation provid ing for a forty percent increase in the standing army should set at rest interference with private affairs in the minds of those who feel that season of war tends in the direction of a defenceless nation. According to the Declaration of Independence, the King of England, for several specified reasons, was de-' nounced as a tyrant unfit to be the ruler of a free people. One reason assigned was that he had obstructed the laws for the naturalization of foreigners and had refused to pass others to encourage migrations hith er. In New York City, an official of the port is under indictment for being somewhat too liberal in slip ping aliens into the land of the free and the home of the brave. The poet was right when he said that time makes ancient good uncouth. No body should feel embarrassed if, with good cause, he has to go back on what he said yesterday. Who’s Driving This Car?
