We all know why Grosvenor and Conroy and their kind are here. And a few of us have been wondering who were pulling the wires for them.

And why shouldn't we be down here? I'm in a legitimate business. Guns. And I'm looking after my interests. I'm not declaring war. But if there is a war I don't see any reason why I should get left in the scramble.

War! God, do you know what the word means? I've been in two wars. I've seen and heard and—smelt battlefields. And I've seen women and children waiting at home—and waiting.

I'll give you a thousand dollars, Senator, for a thousand-word article on the horrors of war. You can't make it strong enough.
