In the arts they call it plagiarism, in business they call it competition.
I was not a conscientious objector. I was a political objector. I believed that finance and commercial rivalry had led to war.
Mercantile jealousy is excited, and both inflames, and is itself inflamed, by the violence of national animosity:..

They might be a good friend, but they are also a bitter commercial rival. Let's not kid ourselves.. The American wheat industry has done everything it possibly can to criticize the Australian wheat industry in order to take the Iraqi wheat market from us.
Rivalry is the life of trade, and the death of the trader.
Is there any man here or any woman, let me say is there any child here, who does not know that the seed of war in the modern world is industrial and commercial rivalry?
A day will come when markets, open to trade, and minds, open to ideas, will become the sole battlefield.
