he would make he hoped would
be remembered throughf the sue

forcefully set before the audience
the serious plight humanity today
finds itself in, dwelling upon the
Suggestion that perhaps tonight
is the darkest hour the world has
ever known. With various H.
lustrations he pointed out how
near the allies are to losing-how
near the beast IN man is TO con
quering all the finer things in life.
= A short time ago, he said, Mr..
Hoover notified the head of the
allied supply department IN Eng
land that America had shipped her
last bushel of surplus wheat and
could supply no more except as
the American people saved it from
their usual requirement. The Eng
lish official thereupon closed his
desk and stretching for his hands
exclaimed, THE war is over. We
are beatenl' Only by strongest
persuasion was he induced to see
the American people viii save
enough wheat to feed the allies
while they yet win. But the mar
gin is sadly narrow
