27 pages. "In 1932 questions began to arise with peace societies over the role of munitions companies in World War I. based on rumors and reports that munitions makers had provoked war scares, opposed peace initiatives, and controlled corruped public officials, the public began to call for an investigation. With most unwilling to undertake the project, fearing injury to their political careers, Nye was the only Senator who would agree to take on the influential munitions manufacturers. Having long believed in the dangers of big business and considering munitions companies as merchants of death, he felt morally obligated to investigate." - from an online reference.
