program or do they occur in some world whereto Mr. Welles has been

IN THE WOODSHED
Before paintin’ the picture of the nigger in Mr. Welles’ woodshed, I think
we ought to be clear about Mr. Welles’ intentions.
He was talkin’ of economic aggression at Toledo, Ohio. That was ten
days or a fortnight ago, so I suppose the American people have already
forgotten it. Our U.S.A. memory is brief, it is fleeting. Hardly a man is
now alive who can remember what Sumner said at Toledo. “Bitter
experience of two wars, destroyin’ so much which is beyond price, and
which has taken the patient toil of centuries to create.” Sounds like as if

acts. Those having to do with this war, and those intended to embitter
mankind, and make way for the next general massacre.
Who wanted the conflict, who has extended the conflict, who has
embittered the conflict, for fear that the desire for peace might break
out? I mean out might become effective too soon for the war makers’
comfort.
