demand; money, materials, doubled i and QuAdr0pled productlon--ever- increasing. The production must Dc not only for our own army and navy and air forces, ft must reinforce the other armies and navieS and air forces fighting the NaEis and tho war lords of Japan throughout the Americas and the world,
 have been working today on the subject of production, Our gov- ernment has decided un two broad policies.
 The first Is to speed up all ex- isting production by working on . seven day week basis in every war industry, including the production of essential raw materials.
 Tho second policy, now being put Into form, is to rush additions to the capacity of production by building more new plants, by Ndu- Ing to old plants, and by using -he many smaller plants for war needs.
 Over the hard road of the past months, we have ct times met obstacles and dificultles, divisions and disputes, indifference and cal- lousneSs. That Is now all past and, am sure, forgotten.
 The fact is that the country now has an organization ln Washing ton built around men and womlun who are recognized experts In thelr own fields. thlng the country knows that the people who are actually responsible in each and every one of these many fields arc pulling together with . teamwork that hos never before been ex- celled
 Hard Work Ahead
 On the road ahead there lies hard work gruelling work - day and night every hour and every min ute.

 It Is not Q sacrifice to do without many things to which we are ae. cllatomed fl tho national defense calls for doing without,
 A review this morning leads me to the conc. lslon that at present we shall not have to curtNil the normal ArticleS of food. There x enough food for all of us and enough left over to send to those who are fighting on the same side with us.
 There will Do q clear and definite shortage Of metals and many kinds for civilian use, for the very good reason that in our increased pros gram we shall need for war pur- poses more than half of that portion Of the principal metals which dur. Ing the past year have gone Into articles for civilian use. We shall have to give up many things en- tirely.
 I am sure that tho people in every part of tho nation arc prepared in their individual living 10 win this war, am sure they will cheeriully help to pay . large part of its financial cost while 1t goes on. I am sure they will eheerfully give Up those material things they are asked to give up.
 1 I am sure that they will retain oil those great spiritual things with.
