LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

Also Mussolini talking about the fight to grow enough wheat to feed
Italy as being the kind of fight he prefers. Well, that was the effort that
brought out American hostility all right enough.
Will you lay off it ? And if so, when so ? And while you are thinking, if
so, on laying off, there is something else to lay off of ? Namely, a
system of lending money to foreign nations in order to have a war every
19 years.
That system I suggest you look into. Your British Allies were scared that
a few rackets were bustin’. They started a war to uphold a state of
things that just were NOT UPHOLDABLE. Instead of admitting that
they would have to change it, they started a war singing the International
and running up the cross, sickle, and hammer. Do your Allies BELIEVE
in communal ownership ? They do not. Do the Chinamen believe in
dud cars sent over to Singapore, on not very favorable conditions, and
on not very explicit statements as to who gets commissions (several
commissions) ? I doubt it.
Very nice to hear, I mean you are mebbe comforted to HEAR that you
got 100 million Chinese soldiers all ready to die for democracy. I mean
if you are a democracy. But you ain’t got ’em. Well, why lean on what
ain’t thaar ?
There are plenty of people right here in Europe whose views on many
subjects do not coincide with my own, but we have, most of us, some
points of agreement. Nan King, Manchu Kuo, both of them on the map
of old Asia and on the map of New Asia. And TWO points that I would,
mebbe three points, like to get into your binnacles. ONE that America
COULD have stayed out of this war. Two, that IF America had stayed
neutral the war would now be over and America might have had a hand
in composing the differences; might not have so many hush hush
agreements to buy; purchase, absorb such a lot of South American stuff
we don’t need and can’t use, cornering the market as usual, but mebbe
