Twenty billions of our national wealth have been apportioned for our Allies and for our own participation in the war. Ships have been produced as never before. Our navy has become a real force of protection. We have come to supply huge populations with our food products and national resources. And so it runs in every phase of our national life. There have been many mistakes and much confusion, but we may safely say that the achievements of our nation in the year...
