It is equally true that up to a very short time ago there has been a feeling of great satisfaction and content among the brotherhood of the blood profiteers This brotherhood is composed in the main of those men who in one way or another have got control of the natural resources of the nation—the ore, coal, lumber, ete.; those men who have got control ot} the transportation of the nation the railways, steamships, ete.; and those men who have got control of the machinery which fabricates the | raw materials into munitions of war and the necessities of the clvil population, Being a man of keen perception, | the president has not been fooled for a minute as to what the blood profiteers have been doing during the past five months to their fel low countrymen and thelr govern ment; being a man of unflinching determination and courage, he never even has considered permit ting them to continue piling up their blood profits or keeping what they have piled up; being a man of infinite patience, he has been will Ing to wait to strike the blows until he could strike them with suth force that they would be ef fective.
