than at present, for a starving world will have to be fed
and a burned-up world will have to be rebuilt.
Not in human history has there been such a call to any
nation as has now come to the people of this country to
quicken their mental and physical activities, to forget their
own petty thoughts and look out broadly on the whole hori-
zon of human affairs. Never has there been such a call of
civilization upon a nation for the things which may make
possible the saving of civilization, and the saving of civiliza-
ton means the saving of our own country.
Let US bestir ourselves; let US realize what all of this
means IN business expansion, for upon business activity
depends absolutely the ability of our country to finance the
war and to produce the foodstufs and the manufactured
goods essential to winning the war.
1t S a trite thing to say that we are in the most momen-
tous period in human history. Changes beyond the power
OF the human mind to grasp are under way. We are fight
ing the most powerful fighting machine built during the last
80 years of treless effort which the mind Of man has ever
conceived. We are fighting the forces of Evil. We are
hghting the forces which would dominate all civilization
and destroy every nation that did not bow to the knee of
kaiserism. In doing this we shall have to press into service
every acre of available land for foodstuhs. W. shall have
to crowd to its utmost capacity the m~an-force and woman
force of the country. We shall have to crowd every iron
and steel plant, every ore and coal mine in operation or
which can be opened up, every great lumber concern. every
cotton mill and every other force which makes for the fullest
and completest utilization of the vast potentialities in men
and raw materials with which this country has been en-
lowed. We are at the supreme hour in the history Of man.
kind. and upon us depends the future of civilization and of
all the world. Let US awake to our responsibility and do a
mans share of the work!
