America must furnish food and all other war supplies, not only
for hersef. but for all the nations at war with Germany.
I've must supply ships to carry all kinds of material across the
ocean, defying submarines.
'3-People who devote "their energy to these things will be serving
the country and conducting the fight for peace and freedom as
effectively as the men in the trenches. The industrial forces OF
the country will be a great international service army-the eff
Gent saviors of free men everywhere"
4-"Upon the farmers of this country in large measure rests the
fate of the war"
