clothing. AS to munitions, it matters
little whether we have particular kind
of artillery; if we cannot get the French,
we should take the British. The same
can be said of small arms and personal
equipment. If our ordnance cannot
furnish them, the French and British
have them. So in equipment and ar
mament there should be no delay.
"As to handling everything that must
be sent over under this program, stand
ready now, without waiting for detailed
study, to say that we can do 1t.
There is nothing SO dreadfully I'M
portant as winning this war, and every
possible resource should be made imme-
diatsly available. Mr.. Secretary. the
question is so vital to our country, and
the necessity of winning the war is so
great that there is no limit to which we
should not go to carry out the plan l
have outlined for the next 10 months,
and we must be prepared to carry it
on still further after that at the same
rate or maybe faster"
