The Job Ahead... 



The energies of America, great 

 in war, must be great in peace. 



The brave young people who went forth from 

 our farms and our cities fought for freedom, se- 

 curity, and a better world. Many died. Many 

 of our own whose power in life was strong will 

 rest in an honored and powerful death if we and 

 all men, in our yet living power, do make a free- 

 dom and a peace that will be ours and that of our 

 unborn forever. This is our sacred, God-given task. 

 No greater honor can be had for those who died, 

 for those who fought and live, and for those of us 

 who labored at home, than a devotion of our 

 strength, our minds, and our hearts to the cause 

 of freedom, security, and peace for the world. 



The farmers of the American Farm Bureau Fed- 

 eration again dedicate themselves, in harmony 

 and union with all American people, to the Nation's 

 new task — leading a war-worn world to peace.
