His reply was: “Hindsight is always better than foresight.” However, since we have many other lessons to learn in this war, and since the first President of the United States advised his country- the Government But with the entire nation in a race to get defense materials, these plants will take another vear to get into production—even if then. by Thus, unless we are ahle to send men to “look back for the purpose|Petroleum to finance a rubber tremendous labor battalicns to the ! of profiting by Dear Bought Exper-|was about one-sixth of our con- jungles of the Amazon—and here i¢nce,” it is worth looking at the|sumption.
