from beginning to end. the moment il is received.
 Don't lay il aside to be read some other time IL is better 10 spend 8 little time that way right now and learn tha; there is a plan to- safe guard against this impending danger, than to refuse to read. refuse t1 think. refuse to be warned, refuse to build safeguards. and just grope along blindly with the crowd. and finally be swept over the precipice and pitched headformost into a seeth- ing crater
 Coming events cast their shadows befure."
 No far-seeing and thoughtful man can fail to appreciate that in this country We are now standing on the bring of an abyss of commercial choas. into which we are ultimately sure 10 fall. and then wade through the wreckage Of long period of in dustrial depression and hard times, with all the dangers that such con. ditions forecast of social disturbances unless some plan is quickly adopted 10 create in our own country new wealth and new home markets to take the place of those that will b. los; as the result of the war.
 There undoubtedly is way iJ build 8 safeguard against all these dangers. bu; 10 be effective it must be pu; in operation without delay and driven through with the same irresistible war energy and war spec l that were aroused to defeat Germany
 That safeguard is 10 duplicate, Is many times over as may be necessary ;he miraculous enlargement Of home markets and creation of new wealth hat has followed the building of the Roosevelt; dam !n the Sat Ei,er val. ley in Arizona That valley is nov pouring forty million dollars year into the nations channels of trad... from 3O0.1O acres once an unproduc. tice deser; waste.
