resources the manufactur ing efficiency the human ingenuity and man power of this country are pitted against the powers of cen tral europe at the present time we are confronted by an unprece dented shortage in food supplies raw materials of nature manufac tured materials and ships this shortage is not a result of the ab sence of natural wealth but a lack of organization of what we have in an unparalleled period in hu man events 1 , when the democracy of the world is being threatened by autocracy we are menaced by a paralyzation of our fundamental and other industries the outcome of the

hand we are strong with in we will need no fear of danger from without from all parts of the country we hear calls for labor the steel mills making the materials of modern civilization are hampered by the lack of workers the coal mines which provide power for the fac tories and transportation systems feel the same shortage the textile and other industries cry for human help and above all the farms

strengthen our allies across the at lantic and still more to be lost by the submarine's wrath after the submarine ceases to act as an agent of destruction we will probably need to supply food to the
