With the government needing
and planning to take, for war pur-
poses, at least half the production
of the American people, there will
obviously be fewer goods available
for civilians.
The shortages will be especially
acute in items made of scarce
metals and rubber.
Some overall backsliding In
American living standards for the
duration seems inevitable.
Every patriotic citizen will
willingly pull in his belt to the
extent needed to accelerate victory.
