He was unable to predict that similar corrections of Allied propaganda and popularized conceptions of the methods of warfare in the Second World War would meet even sterner resistance.

I'm sure he was conjuring up great plans, for in the back of his mind he was probably thinking about the shortage of lumber back home. This abundance would take care of that problem.
