mated America would produce 10, 900
liberty motors monthly and that it's
other war efforts are on a similar huge
scale.
America is fighting public war and
not a secret war said Lord North

added.
Their government is frank with
them about the war and I think that

celebration of shipbuilding to an ex-

the British censorship had kept hid
