An editorial urges optimism amid war clouds. It argues that fear of disaster hampers purchases and investment, while production and consumption must continue. It likens business hesitation to a racing horse seeking an open gate and calls for proactive belief, action, and speech to spur national growth.
The article warns of life and death stakes if the United States must fight alone. It lists scenarios: Russia collapse, British fleet loss, food shortages, western front reversals, and unchecked submarine danger, noting the impossible has happened before.
The article details Germany's pork consumption of about sixty nine pounds per person and a hog herd drop from 25 million to 13 million during wartime. It notes the rushed slaughter to cut fodder imports from Russia, then the plan to rebuild to seven million hogs and restore pork rations.
The article reports widespread hoarding of woolen fabrics in the United Kingdom with middle class purchases two to three times normal. Tailors note the trend as prudent stockpiling, and authorities have surveyed woolen fabric stocks for potential rationing.
