War Is A Racket. It

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.

A Few Profit - And The Many Pay. But There Is A Way To Stop It. You Can't End It By Disarmament Conferences. You Can't Eliminate It By Peace Parleys At Geneva. Well-meaning But Impractical Groups Can't Wipe It Out By Resolutions. It Can Be Smashed Effectively Only By Taking The Profit Out Of War.

My Mental Faculties Remained In Suspended Animation While I Obeyed The Orders Of The Higher-ups. This Is Typical With Everyone In The Military Service.

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.

One Hundred And Twenty Marines Were Detailed To Officer A Force Of Twenty-six Hundred Haitians.
