Mr. Byrnes frankly states that fighting forces but supplving May you spend all your days in sorrow erate an ele oe whieh will b the Government has no right to tall upon Americans to work as a team if it is not going to de mand that Government officials works as a team. Admitting mistakes, which are to be expected of human beings, he says that “these controversies and their effect upon the war ef- fort have been greatly exagger- ated”, While there have been some stoppages of work in industry producing the weapons of which “have justly aroused icism”, Mr. Brynes said th. “the great mas; of our work- ers, and with e exceptions, the leaders of organized labor, are doing as much as any of us, and more than many of us, to} see that there is no interruption of. war production”. During 1942, the speaker de- clared, only one-twentieth of one per cent of the time of worke engaged in war work was lost! in strikes and said that the strik er in a war industry is almost rare as the slacker in the Army. | The Director of War Mobili- | zation, outlining the humiliating situation which confronted the United States when attacked, ! pointed out that the Nazis and the Japs started to prepare for the war before we woke up to what was going on. While they were plotting our destruction, we were passing neu- ity laws that helped them! it and living up to our disarm- | iment agreements. “Hitler won| first -battle of Europe, not in 1939 or 1940, but “in the preceding five years of prepara- | tion”. Now, the United States is pre- | paring for): “many attacks on many fronis” and War produc-.| tion is setting astonishing ree. ords. For example, the speakér pointed oyt,{during the twelve months /eriding May 3ist, 1941, the nation constructed fifty dry. 9 ships ‘and twenty-two kers, but during the \twelve months ending May 31st 1948s it constructed more than a_ thou- sand drv cargo ships and alma one hundred ocean-going tankers. Mr. Byrnes calls this “the harvest year for the Navy's ship construction”. He referred to the great building program which got under way in 1940 and in ‘the first five months of this vear provided one hundred . fighting ships or almost as many warships ‘as were finished in the entire year of 1942, During 1943, he pointed ont. we will double our fleet of fighting shins— pele ships, aircraft cariers, cruis destrovers, escort ships and ae marines. These figures do not include several’ thor id landing craft but especial attention has heen 5; automobiles and retrigerators in thousands of items to its Allies. | Through Lend-Lease, for ex-| ample, Mr. Byrnes vavs that we | have shinned . twice as many motor as we pro- duced for ree in the last war and that “bumper to bump- er” ‘they wo’? -sch twice across North America. In May, we rod ced three tines as many pieves of artillery as we did for ground troops in all the 19 months of the last war and our production of high explosive powder is six times as great as during the last war. Figures for machine-guns and submachine-guns illustrate the | almost miraculous production of this country. Between June 1,} 1940, and June 1, 1941, our ord-| nance plants turned out 25,000 ‘units. This figure was stepped up to 700.000 in the next year and to 1,500,000 in the year end- ing June Ist, 1943, Mr. Byrnes stressed the fact ‘that while we wer> _ building the seven years preceding June, 1940, Hitler was building air- | planes, relying uron them to en- | Slave the world. Again we give the figures: 30.248 rlanes pro- | duced in the year ending June Il, | 1942, and almost 50.000 in the |next twelve-month period. | While it is not possible to di- | vide this figure into types, Mr. | Byrnes pointed out that the pro- portion of trainers is less and less and that the proportion of | bombers and fighters has grown | steadily higher and they are big- | ger and more devastating. In the two-year period, the jnation manufaetured 44,830,000 bombs _ including incendiaries and block-busters running to 4,- 1.000 pounds. Citing the raid ‘on! Dortmund, termed the , most} devastating © in history, Mr. Byrnes said that the tonnage: of bombs. already produced in) this country is ifficient. to, pad planes for 542) raids ‘the ‘size’ of ‘the Dortmund raid, We call attention to these statements becuse they tend, we helieve, to sive the average American a cl conception of the tremendous strides which have been taken by this country in connection with war produc- tion. It is very imnortant for Amer- ‘cans to understand the magni- tude of our industrial prepara- tion for war. even if for no other scnran then ta ‘ave en antidote for the be oui seam J.P.
