il duol che sopra Senna Induce, falseggiando la moneta. Paradiso XIX, 118. 5372 An' that year Metevsky went over to America del Sud 5373 (and the Pope's manners were so like Mr Joyce's, 5374 got that way in the Vatican, weren't like that before) 5375 Marconi knelt in the ancient manner 5376 like Jimmy Walker sayin' his prayers. 5377 His Holiness expressed a polite curiosity 5378 as to how His Excellency had chased those 5379 electric shakes through the a'mosphere. 5380 Lucrezia 5381 Wanted a rabbit's foot, 5382 and he, Metevsky said to the one side 5383 (three children, five abortions and died of the last) 5384 he said: the other boys got more munitions 5385 (thus cigar-makers whose work is highly repetitive 5386 can perform the necessary operations almost automatically 5387 and at the same time listen to readers who are hired 5388 for the purpose of providing mental entertainment while they 5389 work; Dexter Kimball 1929.) 5390 Don't buy until you can get ours. 5391 And he went over the border 5392 and he said to the other side: 5393 The other side has more munitions. Don't buy 5394 until you can get ours. 5395 And Akers made a large profit and imported gold into England 5396 Thus increasing gold imports. 5397 The gentle reader has heard this before. 5398 And that year Mr Whitney [Page 188] 5399 Said how useful short sellin' was, 5400 We suppose he meant to the brokers 5401 And no one called him a liar. 5402 And two Afghans came to Geneva 5403 To see if they cd. get some guns cheap, 5404 As they had heard about someone's disarming. 5405 And the secretary of the something 5406 Made some money from oil wells 5407 (In the name of God the Most Glorious Mr D'Arcy 5408 is empowered to scratch through the sub-soil of Persia 5409 until fifty years from this date ...) 5410 Mr Mellon went over to England 5411 and that year Mr Wilson had prostatitis 5412 And there was talk of a new Messiah 5413 (that must have been a bit sooner) 5414 And Her Ladyship cut down Jenny's allowance 5415 Because of that bitch Agot Ipswich 5416 And that year (that wd. be 20 or 18 years sooner) 5417 They began to kill 'em by millions 5418 Because of a louse in Berlin 5419 and a greasy basturd in Ausstria 5420 By name François Giuseppe. 5421 "Will there be war?" "No, Miss Wi'let, 5422 "On account of bizschniz relations." 5423 Said the soap and bones dealer in May 1914 5424 And Mr Gandhi thought: 5425 if we don't buy any cotton 5426 And at the same time don't buy any guns...... 5427 Monsieur Untel was not found at the Jockey Club 5428 ...but was, later, found in Japan 5429 And So-and-So had shares in Mitsui. 5430 "The wood (walnut) will always be wanted for gunstocks" 5431 And they put up a watch factory outside Muscou 5432 And the watches kept time....Italian marshes [Page 189] 5433 been waiting since Tiberius' time ... 5434 "Marry" said Beebe, "how do the fish live in the sea." 5435 Rivera, the Spanish dictator, dictated that the 5436 Infante was physically unfit to inherit ... 5437 gothic type still used in Vienna 5438 because the old folks are used to that type. 5439 And Schlossmann 5440 suggested that I stay there in Vienna 5441 As stool-pigeon against the Anschluss 5442 Because the Ausstrians needed a Buddha 5443 (Seay, brother, I leev et tuh yew!) 5444 The white man who made the tempest in Baluba 5445 Der im Baluba das Gewitter gemacht hat ... 5446 they spell words with a drum beat, 5447 "The country is overbrained" said the hungarian nobleman 5448 in 1923. Kosouth (Ku' shoot) used, I understand 5449 To sit in a café---all done by conversation--- 5450 It was all done by conversation, 5451 possibly because one repeats the point when conversing: 5452 "Vienna contains a mixture of races." 5453 wd. I stay and be Bhudd-ha? 5454 "They are accustomed to having an Emperor. They must have 5455 Something to worship. (1927)" 5456 But their humour about losing the Tyrol? 5457 Their humour is not quite so broad. 5458 The ragged arab spoke with Frobenius and told him 5459 The names of 3000 plants. 5460 Bruhl found some languages full of detail 5461 Words that half mimic action; but 5462 generalization is beyond them, a white dog is 5463 not, let us say, a dog like a black dog. 5464 Do not happen, Romeo and Juliet ... unhappily 5465 I have lost the cutting but apparently 5466 such things do still happen, he 5467 suicided outside her door while

Said Mr Blodgett: 5471 "Sewing machines will never come into general use. 5472 "I have of course never said that the cash is constant 5473 (Douglas) and in fact the population (Britain 1914) 5474 was left with 800 millions of "deposits" 5475 after all the cash had been drawn, and 5476 these deposits were satisfied by the 5477 printing of treasury notes. 5478 A factory 5479 has also another aspect, which we call the financial aspect 5480 It gives people the power to buy (wages, dividends 5481 which are power to buy) but it is also the cause of prices 5482 or values, financial, I mean financial values 5483 It pays workers, and pays for material. 5484 What it pays in wages and dividends 5485 stays fluid, as power to buy, and this power is less, 5486 per forza, damn blast your intellex, is less 5487 than the total payments made by the factory 5488 (as wages, dividends AND payments for raw material 5489 bank charges, etcetera) 5490 and all, that is the whole, that is the total 5491 of these is added into the total of prices 5492 caused by that factory, any damn factory 5493 and there is and must be therefore a clog 5494 and the power to purchase can never 5495 (under the present system) catch up with 5496 prices at large, 5497 and the light became so bright and so blindin' 5498 in this layer of paradise 5499 that the mind of man was bewildered. [Page 191] 5500 Said Herr Krupp (1842): guns are a merchandise 5501 I approach them from the industrial end, 5502 I approach them from the technical side, 5503 1847 orders from Paris and Egypt.... 5504 orders from the Crimea, 5505 Order of Pietro il Grande, 5506 and a Command in the Legion of Honour ... 5507 500 to St Petersburg and 300 to Napoleon Barbiche 5508 from Creusot. At Sadowa 5509 Austria had some Krupp cannon; 5510 Prussia had some Krupp cannon. 5511 "The Emperor ('68) is deeply in'erested in yr. catalogue 5512 and in yr. services to humanity" 5513 (signed) Leboeuf 5514 who was a relative of Monsieur Schneider 5515 1900 fifty thousand operai, 5516 53 thousand cannon, about half for his country, 5517 Bohlem und Halbach, 5518 Herr Schneider of Creusot 5519 Twin arse with one belly. 5520 Eugene, Adolf and Alfred "more money from guns than from 5521 tractiles" 5522 Eugene was sent to the deputies; 5523 (Soane et Loire) to the Deputies, minister; 5524 Later rose to be minister, 5525 "guns coming from anywhere, 5526 but appropriations from the Chambers of Parliaments" 5527 In 1874 recd. license for free exportation 5528 Adopted by 22 nations 5529 1885/1900 produced ten thousand cannon 5530 to 1914, 34 thousand 5531 one half of them sent out of the country 5532 always in the chamber of deputies, always a conservative, 5533 Schools, churches, orspitals fer the workin' man 5534 Sand piles fer the children.
