"War As A Business" is again suggested by the Feuhrer's removal of Herr Schacht to make way for one who may be more serviceable in spending the big money financial genius has somehow procured. The question is whether war can be made to pay; exactly as the pirates and bandits of old were successful as buccaneers for profit. So far it looks as if both Germany and Italy had got a pretty good return for their investment; and so could get the necessary credit for continued raids until perhaps they are strong enough to go after big game like Russia, France, England and perhaps the Americas, including U. S. A. The only answer is to remove the economic causes of wars!

Mussolini is building 14 submarines to reach as far as the United States. His next announcement may be a few thousand bombing planes of equally long-winded type. This suggests conducting war as a big business putting it on a production basis; because such armadas as these should easily be able to retrieve their cost in single raids; and so reproduction could be indefinite. Is this new war enterprise an evidence that the Duce has "cleaned up" in his last two previous ones, Spain and Ethiopia? Monkeying with war and poverty, besides being fearfully expensive directly, also faces the possibility of "going too far." If either the Duce or Feuhrer are smart enough to "make a business of it" which they show many signs of, they will get us just as old Sana Anna did the unsuspecting pastoral, cultured Mexicans with a shipload of well-trained bandits. The best way is to use our peaceful sciences to find and remove the cause which is the same of war and poverty.
