War Like Any Other Racket, Pays High

War Is A Racket. It Is The Only One International In Scope. It Is The Only One In Which The Profits Are Reckoned In Dollars And The Losses In Lives.

For A Great Many Years, As A Soldier, I Had A Suspicion That War Was A Racket; Not Until I Retired To Civil Life Did I Fully Realize It.

I Spent Thirty-three Years In The Marines, Most Of My Time Being A Hlgh Class Muscle Man For Big Business, For Wall Street And The Bankers. In Short, I Was A Racketeer For Capitalism.

I Served In All Commissioned Ranks From Second Lieutenant To Major-general. And During That Period, I Spent Most Of My Time Being A High Class Muscle-man For Big Business, For Wall Street And For The Bankers. In Short, I Was A Racketeer, A Gangster For Capitalism.

I Helped Make Mexico, Especially Tampico, Safe For American Oil Interests In 1914. I Helped Make Haiti And Cuba A Decent Place For The National City Bank Boys To Collect Revenues In. I Helped In The Raping Of Half A Dozen Central American Republics For The Benefits Of Wall Street. The Record Of Racketeering Is Long. I Helped Purify Nicaragua For The International Banking House Of Brown Brothers In 1909-1912. I Brought Light To The Dominican Republic For American Sugar Interests In 1916. In China I Helped To See To It That Standard Oil Went Its Way Unmolested.
