You're telling me he published this in the year World War II started and we're not supposed to detect the constant presence of allegory because he denies it in a statement? Not to be too post-modern about it, but it's in there and it doesn't matter if Tolkien thinks otherwise.
And Saruman has nothing to do with the destruction of real forests in the real world that Tolkien decried?
