Quotation from: War of the Classes

Written by: Jack London


Cecil Rhodes, speaking of what would have obtained but for the pig-
headedness of George III, and of what will obtain when England and
the United States are united, said, "NO CANNON WOULD. . . BE FIRED
ON EITHER HEMISPHERE BUT BY PERMISSION OF THE ENGLISH RACE." It
would seem that England, fronted by the hostile Continental Union
and flanked by the great American scab, has nothing left but to join
with the scab and play the historic labor role of armed Pinkerton.
Granting the words of Cecil Rhodes, the United States would be
enabled to scab without let or hindrance on Europe, while England,
as professional strike-breaker and policeman, destroyed the unions
and kept order.
