Abstract
It is good that the public is taking a keen if belated interest in the activities of the international armament ring during and between wars. The story of young men being killed with guns made by their fellow-countrymen and sold to the enemy at a profit to munitions makers has not grown less sordid with the years. It becomes peculiarly relevant to American young men, any one of whom faces the fantastic but real possibility of being killed in the Far East by a bit of shrapnel that was originally part of his mother's kitchen stove. It is hoped the Senate committee's investigation of the munitions racket will be thorough. The chairman of the committee, in a recent speech cited figures for various companies showing the difference between their profits in peace and in war.
