Beware of thi temptation hastily to

the capacity of the world's shipping.
We have got to feed the world for a

material and that is going to take
ships tfltjcarry them. We have got
to keep a large army large as we
call armies, on the other side, for
Borne time to come, and they will
have to be fed and furnished with
supplies. We do not know what is

need to be done there that we dare

we must have a considerable army
