DEPRESSION

THE ARMS RACKET The munitions racket, which has left a trail of treason, greed and blood in its train, is at the moment undergoing a searching scrutiny in the United States. Already startling revelations have been made by witnesses before the Senate Committee, and before the inquiry is con- cluded we may expect to see the scurehlight turned with dramatic effect on activities involving armament firms of the principal nations of the world. It is, of course,

no new thing to learn that there is much interlocking between the big armament firms. Investigations made by the League of Nations have shown that these big munitions corpora- tions have in the past actively fomented war scares, tried to bribe Governments officials, and disseminated false reports as to other nations' military and naval programmes in order to stimu- late armament buying. But the U.S. Senate Committee presided over by Senator Nye is charged with the task of bringing the actual details into the full glare of publicity, in the hope that the revelations made will result in far-reaching international con- trol of the arms traffic. There is to be the closest investigation into the financial and working arrangements between American corporations and the European arms industry. The facts that ITS CAUSE? will be revealed are calculated to reflect. very little credit on the big armament organisations. It has been disclosed in recent years that so-called patriotic societies have received large sums of money from the muni- tions interests, and that sccrets
