ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
CHAPLIN ON AVORLD’S ILLS. “I have concluded that lack of money is the root of all evil. That is tho way the world looks to me,” said Charlie Chaplin, returning from a world tour, when he reached Vancouver aboard the steamer Hikawa Maru. The ship took £3,000,000 in gold for the United States. “They say that this is brought to balance trade. Well, those insisting on ‘balancing trade’ ought to be prosecuted. What humans endure patiently amazes me. But there is a new worldawakening at hand. People everywhere want more of the benefits and privileges of material plenty. Financiers will have to take less profit. They call me a comedian, but I have decided that I’m as good an economist as some of these financiers are comedians.”
After a long holiday Chaplin is anxious to start another picture. It will be silent as far as he is concerned.
