face this work at a time when we are

no doubt that there Is throughout the
country a feeling OF relaxAtton---a
feeling of self-satisfa ction at the
work already performed and a strong
and not unreasonable call to take up

terests and activities. The organiza-
tons were prepared for the task
which would have confronted them
had the war continued throughout
the year 1919, or longer. and | am
confident that despite these handicaps
they viii not now relax their effort
and leave the task unfinished. Victory
has come to us earlier than we might
reasonably have expected, but victory
will not cause us to neglect the COM
