PATRIOTISM AND PROFITS DO NOT
MIX, PRESIDENT TELLS COUNTRY
i
My Fellow Countrymen:
The Government is about to attempt to determine the prices at which It
"will ask you henceforth to furnish various supplies which nro ncccssnry
for the prosecution of the war and various materials which will ho needed
In Industries by which the war must bo sustained Wo shall, of course, try
k determine them justly and to the best advantage of the nntion as a whole;
but Justico is easier to speak of than to arrive at, and there nro some con
derations which I hope we shall all keep steadily in mind while this par
ticular problem of Justico Is being worked out. I thercforo take tho liberty
of stating very candidly my own view of tho situation and of tho principles
f which should guide both the Government and the mine owners and manu
facturers of the country in this difficult matter.
A Just price must, of course, bo paid for everything the Government buys.
By a just pvice I mean a rlce which will sustain the industries concerned In
a high state of efficiency, provido a living for those who conduct them, enable
them to pay good wages and make possible the expansions of their enterprises
which will from tlmo to time become necessary as the stupendous undertak
ings of this great war develop. Wo could not wisely or reasonably do less
than pay such prices. They arc necessary for tho maintenance and develop
ment of industry; and tho maintenance and development of industry nro
necessary for the great task we havo in hand. Ilut I trust that we shall not
surround tho matter with n mist of sentiment. Facts nrc our mnstcrs now.
We ought not to put the acceptance of such prices on the ground of patriotism.
Patriotism has nothing to do with profits in n caso liko this. Patriotism and
profits ought never In tho nrcsent circumstances to bo mentioned together.
PROFITS BUSINESS, NOT PATRIOTISM
It Is perfectly proper to discuss profits as a matter of business, with a
view to maintaining the integrity of capital nnd tho efficiency of labor in
these tragical months when the liberty of free men everywhere and of industry
ifeelf trembles In the bnlance; but it would be absurd to discuss them as n
motive for helping to serve and save our country. Patriotism loaves profits
out cf the question.
In these days of our supreme trial, when we are sending hundreds of
thousands of our young men across the seas to servo a great cause, no
true man who stays behind to work for them and sustain them by labor
will ask himself what he is personally going to make out of that labor. No
true patriot will permit himself to take toll of their heroism in money or
seek to grow rich by the shedding of their blood. We will give as freely
a,nd with as unstinted self-sacrifirc as they. When they are giving their
lives will we not give nt least our money?
I hear it insisted that more than a just price, more than a price that
will sustain our industries, must be paid; that it is necessary to pay very
liberal and unusual profits in order to "stimulate" production; that nothing
but pecuniary rewards will do it rewards paid in money, not in the mere
liberation of the world. I take it for granted that those who arguo thus do
not stop to think what that means.
Do they mean that you mu3t be paid, must be bribed, to make your con
tribution, a contribution that costs you neither a drop of blood nor a tear,
when, the whole world is in travail and men everywhere depend on and call
to you to bring them out of bondage and make the world a fit place to livo
In again nmidst peace and justice?
NO TIME TO DRIVE A BARGAIN
Do they mean that you will exact a price, drive a bargain, with tho
men who are enduring the agony of this war on the battlefield, in the trenches,
amid the lurking dangers of the sea; or with the bereaved women and the
pitiful children before you will come forward to do your duty and give some
part of your life, in easy penccful fashion, for the things we are fighting for,
the things we have pledged our fortunes, our lives, our sacred honor to vindi
cate and defend liberty and justice and fair dealing and the peace of
nations? Of course, you will not! It is inconceivable.
Your patriotism is of tho same self-denying stuff as the patriotism of
the men dead or maimed on the fields of France, or else it is no patriotism
at all. Let us never speak, then, of profits nnd of patriotism in tho samo sen
tence, but face facts and meet them. Let us do sound business, but not in
tho midst of a mist. Many a grievous burden of taxation will be laid on this
nation in this generation and in the next to pay for this war; let us see to
it that for every dollar that is taken from the people's pockets it shall be
possible to obtain a dollar's worth of the sound stuffs they need.
Let me turn for a moment to the shipowners of the United States and
other. ocean carriers whose examplo they have followed nnd ask them if they
realizo what obstacles, what almost insuperable obstacles, they havo been
putting in the way of the successful prosecution of this war by the ocean
freight rates they have been exacting. They are doing everything that high
freight charges can do to make the war a failure, to rrpkc it impossible.
I do not say that they realize this or intend it. The thing has happened
naturally enough, because the commercial processes which we are content to
se Operate in ordinary times have, without sufficient thought, been con
tiaued into a period where they have no'proper place. I am not questioning
motiyes. I am merely stating a fact, and stating it in order that attention
miy'be fixed upon it.
HAZARDS COVERED BY INSURANCE
The fact is that those who have fixed war freight rates have taken the
most effective means in their power to defeat the armies engaged against
Germany. When they realize this wo may, I take it for granted, count upon
them to reconsider the whole matter. It is high time their extra hazards are
covered by war-risk insurance.
I know, and you know, what response to the great challenge of duty
and of opportunity the nation will expect of you and I know what response
you will make. Those who do not respond, who do not respond in the spirit
of those who have gone to give their lives for us on bloody fields far away,
may safely be left to be dealt with by opinion and the law for tho law
must, of course, command these things. I nm dealing with the matter thus
publicly and frankly not because I have any doubt or fear as to the result,
but only in order that in all our thinking and our dealings with one another
we may move in a perfectly clear air of mutual understanding.
And there is something more that we must add to our thinking. The
public Is now as much part of the Government as are tho army and navy
themselves; the whole people in all their activities are now mobilized and in
service for the accomplishment of the nation's task in this war; it is in
such circumstances impossible to justly distinguish between industrial pur
chases made by the Government and industrial purchases made by the
managers of individual industries; and it is just as much our duty to
sustain the industries of tho country, all the industries that contribute to its
life, as It Is to sustain our forces in the field and on the sea.
PEOPLE AND GOVERNMENT THE SAME
We must make the prices to the public the same as the prices to the
Government. Prices mean the same thing everywhere now; they mean the
efficiency or inefficiency of the nation, whether it is the Government that pays
them or not. They mean victory or defeat. They mean that America will
win her place once for all among tho foremost nations of the world or that
she will sink to defeat and become a second-rate power alike in thought and
In action.
This is a day of her reckoning and every man amongst us must per
sonally face that reckoning along with her.
The case needs no arguing. I assume that I am only expressing your
own thoughts that must be in the mind of every true man when he faces
the tragedy and solemn glory of the present war for the emancipation of
mankind. I summon you to a great duty, a great privilege and a shinine
Hjgnity and distinction. I shall expect every man who is not a slacker to
be at my side throughout this great enterprise. In it no man can win honor
who thinks of himself.

NEW PLAN OFFERED
TO INSURE WARRIORS
Plan, if Adopted, Will Be An-
other Step ,in Direction of
Government Ownership
CONGRESS MAY ACCEPT
WASHINGTON. July 12
A new army and navy Insurance plan,
which provides for permanent participation
by the United States In the Insurance busi
ness, has been laid before Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo by Insurance Interests.
If this plan bo adopted, the Goernment
will hae taken another step toward Gov
ernment ownership
Tho plan contemplates the assumption by
tho Government of Insurance on cxtra-has-nnlous
risks Soldiers and sailors would
be Insured at normal peace-time rates by
the Insurance companies Whenier an In
sured man should fall, the amount he had
paid In premiums to the insurance company
would be paid by that, company and the
remainder of the policy would be paid hy
the Government If n man Is Insured for
12000 and pays B00 In premiums to the
Insuranco company before he dies In battle,
tho company pavs JG00 to the bcnetlclary
and the Government makes Up the differ
ence of $ tfJOO
This Insurance would not be limited to
war In pear times cmploves In all
branches of the Government service would
receive protection on tbH basis Such em
ploves ns Internal revenue agents who nre
engaged In suppressing moonshlnrs cus
toms Inspectors preventing smuggling. Secret
fecrvlee men ngents of the Department of
Justice, pnstofTlco Inspectors Hfesavcro nnd
other Government employes performing
tasks to which an element of clanger at
taches would be entitled to protection
The economic theorv on which this plan
Is based Is that Government participation
In the suggested manner greatly reduces
the rate to the protected emploje While
It would appear that the Insurance com
panies would be crpcclallv favored bv such
a plan Its proponents declare this would
be entirely offset by the larger public utll
Ity of low Insurance rates to Government
cmplojes It is argued further that such
an arrangement would make some branches
of the Government service much moro at
tractive to good men than they nre nt
present
Insurance men who nre suggesting the
plan figure tl at tho Government's losses,
except In war time, would bo negligible
In comparison with the return In wnr
time the looses would he leis than thne
coveied by pensions
Tho experlenco of tho Canadian life
Insurance companies has been explained to
Secretary McAdoo More than 7.000.000
has been lost b those companies since
the outbreak of tho war on old policies
written before the outbreak of the wnr
Canadian companies now arc declining new
rlMs on the llvei of soldiers except where
extremelv high premiums nro paid
It is understood the new plan Is to havo
support In Congress and that its chances
of adoption nrc good

lin Doth were of tho "trongest pro-Pru-elan
tvpe and were frequently criticized bv
Socialists and clerical' for their unrelenting
efforts to maintain the dominancv of l'rus

elimination It Is believed, will strengthen
the position of the Chancellor. Doctor von

tho successors of Doctor llelfferlch nnd
Doctor Zlmmermann
An Imperial Ministry of Labor Is to be
added to the German Government to ap
pease tho working classes
Accord ng to the Cologne Volk Zeltung
the political power of the Kaiser will suffer
to some extent because tho Cabinet In the
future will be held responsible to the
Reichstag Instead of to the Emperor, as
In the past This Is to be brought about
through a concentration of pawer In the
hands of the Foreign Minister, the Chan
cellor, the Vice Chancellor nnd the Minis
ter of Labor Through them tho whole
Cabinet will become responsible to tho
Reichstag
MINISTCnS RKSIGN"
The shake-up extends to the Prussian
Cabinet as well as the Imperial Cabinet
Five Prussian Ministers havo resigned and
they will be replaced by leaders closer to
the people Electoral reforms for Prussia
also are on tho slate They will he aimed
at the removal of the trancendent political
influence of the Junkers (war party) and
agrarians over the Prussian Government
The political disturbances are closely
allied with the question of peace A tele
gram from Cologne today quoted tho semi
official Gazette as saying
The whole crisis is mainly the result of
the unversal demand for peace by the
German people and the peace demand Is
occasioned largely by the food difficulties
Just as the Chancellor In his speech Mon
day, when he declared that ' Germany must
fight to the last gasp.' showed that peace
wis a long way off o does the echo come
now from Dr Mathlao Krzberger. the cler
ical deputy who was mainly responsible for
the present crisis
Writing In the Germanla, Doctor Err
berger said he was convinced that the war
would last for a long time and that reforms
should not be delayed until peace comes

If the Senate agrees to the Agrlculturo

agents of tho Government from buying sup

of tho Administration leaders the National

Prosdlnt Wilson has nppealed to the

Without questioning for a minute the
