.Again, in full confidence I call
upon the American people to set aside

Americas opportunity for renewed
service and sacrifice.
Last summer, when the military
situation was acute. we assured the
interallied food conference in London
that whatever the war-food program
Of the allies required we were pre-
pared to meet; that the conference
need not consider whether or not we
had the supplies-we were prepared
to find them; we pledged ourselves.
by the voluntary economy of our peo-
pie. to have the reserves in food to
supply all necessities. The ending of
the war does not release US from the
pledge. The same populations must
be fed, and until another season has
passed they cannot feed themselves. +
