HAS THE COUNTRY GONE MAD?
GENERAL SMEDLEY D. BUTLER
The Fighting Marine
Perhaps, but at least one thing is certain — the American people are aroused — they have risen up in protest — have determined to stamp out crime — to wipe out kidnaping and other forms of racketeering. THE TIME HAS COME WHEN EVERY CITIZEN DEMANDS TO KNOW WHY WHOLESALE CRIME EXISTS IN THIS COUNTRY — WHY THE GOVERNMENT SEEMS POWERLESS AMID A REIGN OF TERROR.
No One Can Reveal the Inside Story of Crime and Racketeering Better Than
SMEDLEY D. BUTLER
Remember his fight to clean up Philadelphia? He is still on the job, battling against the forces that corrupt our government. Leading a new offensive from the lecture platform, he is one of the most popular speakers before the public because his subject is of such vital interest at the present time.
This is war — the most important war of our history. We must win, or our country will perish. We can win if every citizen will come to the front and take an active part. So says Old Gimlet Eye, about whom Lowell Thomas recently published a book of that name. With the smoke of fourteen battles behind him, this international hero and winner of two Congressional Medals again takes up arms in the name of justice.
THE FIGHTING GENERAL FIRES A NEW VOLLEY OF SHOTS — VERBAL BOMB SHELLS THAT WILL WAKE UP ANY AUDIENCE — NEW EXPOSURES OF WHY JUSTICE MISCARRIES — IN A SERIES OF DYNAMIC TALKS WITH THE SMASHING, BLASTING ORATORY FOR WHICH HE IS FAMOUS.
