These and others are great accomplishments, brought about through the co-operation of the nation, BUT THEY ARE SLIGHT IN COMPARISON WITH WHAT MUST STILL BE DONE. The huge resources for extra food production and conservation have hardly been touched. The imagination is just beginning to be stirred by the immensity of the whole undertaking and the sacrifice required to win the war. Men, ammunition and food, in a steadily increasing stream, must go across.
“OUR DUTY, IF WE ARE TO DO THIS GREAT THING AND SHOW AMERICA TO BE WHAT WE BELIEVE HER TO BE—THE GREATEST HOPE AND ENERGY OF THE WORLD—IS TO STAND TOGETHER NIGHT AND DAY UNTIL THE JOB IS FINISHED.”—PRESIDENT WILSON.
