LL MEN fear me! I declare that Uncle Sam
shall not go to his knees to beg you to buy his
bonds. That is no position for a fighting man.
But if you have the money to buy and do not buy,
I will make this No Man’s Land for you.
I will jndge you not by an allegiance expressed
in mere words.
I will judge you not by your mad cheers
as our boys march away to whatever fate may have
in store for them.
I will judge you not by the warmth of the tears you shed
over the lists of the dead and the injured that come to us from
time to time.
I will judge you not by your uncovered head and solemn
mien as our maimed in battle return to our shores for loving
care.
But, as wise as I am just, I will judge you by the material aid
you give to the fighting men who are facing death that you
may live and move and have your being in a world made safe.
I warn you—don’t talk patriotism over here unless your
money is talking victory Over There.
1 am Public Opinion! As I judge, all men stand
or fall!
