"again we hear it alleged that the moral corruption worked by jazz is vastly more calamitous than was the material havoc wrought by the world war." the above statement contains an example of which rhetorical device

There are two possible answers to this question:

The first one would be allusion. The passage uses allusion because it references the World War. Allusion occurs when an author references an object of an unrelated context in an indirect way.

The second option would be hyperbole. Hyperbole happens when the author makes an exaggerated claim that is not meant to be taken literally. In this case, by saying that jazz has caused more destruction that the World War, the author is clearly exaggerating for dramatic effect.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
