(Received 3 p.m.) LONDON, October 7. "AYe have reached the end of the road and cannot persist in the paradox of simultaneously demanding plenty and scarcity," said Dr. Cyril Norwood, headmaster of Harrow School, preaching his first sermon at the City Temple after his world tour in the course of which he Tfeited New Zealand. "I am almost heartbroken with the world's beauty, wonder and fertility side by side with its hunger, weariness and hate. We have conquered scarcity but we have 110 technique for handling that abundance. "The world, is frightened of the earth's fertility and is practising contraception upon the seeds of wheat, wool, sugar, cotton, silk, rubber, rice, tin and coffee, stifling at birth the fundamental necessities to man, through fear of disturbing prices."
