Wilson, establish and equip individual
farms, which would be linked into
community groups.
The war has demonstrated the pa.

principle upon which that agreement
was founded can endure the stress OF

greater success will attend their ap.
plication during the calmer periods
OF peace

from reconstruction, Mr.. Wilson reco.
