The day we long have sought is here. Victorious in arms, America stands
on the threshold of a future bright with promise and hope.
In the struggle just ended, the mighty resources of the South have been
of vital importance to the nation. Now, with an unpleasant job behind us, we
can all turn from the destruction of war And devote our full efforts to the
building of a greater Southland. While the economic progress which we
have achieved in recent .years is more than heartening, the future beckons
with opportunities for developments which will overshadow anything we
have known in the past
In harmony and cooperation with our friends and neighbors in the terri
