Explanation:
<u>In capitalism, anyone can become a producer or manufacturer and start selling their products to consumers. That means there is competition between different producers, since they will each want consumers to buy their products so that they (the producers) can profit from selling. To achieve that, they are more likely to establish better/lower prices. That way, the chances of attracting consumers to buy their products increase.</u> In a system that is not capitalist, it may very well be that there is only one producer for that product. In that case, consumers would have no choice but to buy that product for whatever price it is sold at.

2) "The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands... American ships have been reported torpedoed..., [and] yesterday the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands..."
The first excerpt shows that Japan gave the US a false sense of hope by saying they are reigning in their expansions and hope to continue to have peaceful relations with the United States. The second excerpt then shows what Franklin was talking about, in that they used the 'guise of peace to backstab the US in hopes of continuing their expansion eastward.
