When will the time come when honest and clear-seeing men will grow sick of all this chaos of waste, this robbing of Peter to pay Paul, which is the essence of Commercial war? When shall we band together to replace the system whose motto is "The devil take the hindmost" with a system whose motto shall be really and without qualification "One for all and all for one."
Devil Take the Hindmost torrent
Then we have also the artificial barriers to the progress of inter-American commerce. Our State Department under the able administration of the Honorable Cordell Hull, has sought earnestly to eliminate these through a series of reciprocal trade agreements. Blocked currencies, exchange controls, arbitrary and protectionist tariffs, onerous export and import regulations have all served to obstruct, to discourage and to stifle our western commerce. True, many of these measures have been laid to war conditions; but the vice behind them is the selfish nationalism they reflect. They must be resolved some day by concerted action among all of the American nations, for the good of all; they must cease to be cultivated under the philosophy of each for himself and devil take the hindmost.
But we do not know the artist, born into a society where there was no real future unless you came from the right family or fought your way to the top. Power was well protected and the devil take the hindmost. 2ff7e9595c
