Perhaps there will not be as many ;
as usual in
the next year or two. Or as rapid
developments in electric refrigera-'
tion.. Or as many new fabrics and
new lighting effects, as .Industry

manufacturing has come a long way
since 1917 and '18, and it is possible
today for the United States to turn
out a wealth of-every -day necessities
and build the sinews of war at the
same time.
Perhaps the time will come 'before'
this upheaval is over and the world
has found peace again when we wili
have to deny ourselves some of the
luxuries we are used to. If it does
come we will "tighten de Jbelten" as
Charlie Chaplin says in "The- Dicta
