tie they must and will have SUFFICIENT
quantities of the best equipment the
United States can produce. At the
same time we must provide more
weapons to the armies Of our Allies
already in the fighting lines.
Britain has been fighting the
Nazis for three years, China Is in her
sixth year of war. and in Russia
the wars greatest land front is
more than a year old. From the
beginning they have carried on
without enough guns or tanks or
planes. 1t is through their uphill
fight that the war has not been
lost. Only by strengthening our
Allies and combining their strength
with ours can we surely win
Deliveries of lend-lease supplies
which have been growing, will have
to grow much larger still. We and
the other United Nations need all
the weapons that all of us can pro-
duce and all the men that all OF us
can muster. In relation to their
available resources Britain and
Russia have up to now produced
more weapons than we have. And
they. are continuing to produce to
the limit, in spite of the fact that
Russia is battlefield and Britain
an offensive base.
$50 far the United States has little
more than passed the halfway mark
toward maximum possible war pro-
duction. Not until we have reached
the maxirnum-and can do this only
by stripping our civilian economy to
the bone-can our fighting men and
those of our Allies be assured OF the
vastly greater quantities Of weapons
required to turn the tide. Not until
then can the United Nations march
forward together to certain victory" !"

House Continues Debute
On Bill to Creute
Volunteer Group
~ the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House continued debate to-
day on DILL to create a women's
Army auxiliary corps of volunteers,
with Representative Nichols, Demo-
crat. OF Oklahoma serving notice
that he would offer an amendment
TO give the women the same post
war benefits as that provided for
men in the armed forces.
With passage of the measure ap-
parently assured, Representative
Nichols said his proposal would pro-
vide women with the same rights
and privileges as the soldiers at
whose side they will serve" He
contended that the legislation, as
now drafted, would give the women
only civilian disability benefits If in
jured.
Chairman May OF the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee already has
announced that he would ask ac-
ceptance of an amendment to limit
the strength of the petticoat corps
to 10000.
Patterned on British Organization.
The measure, introduced by Rep
resentative Rogers, Republican, of
Massachusetts and backed by the
War Department, would set up the
corps along much the same lines as
the British Army's feminine auxil-
iary. It's members would handle
many Of the Army's behind-the-
lines assignments, ranging from
posts as aircraft spoilers to jobs in
Army laundries.
The House, in action yesterday
on the second war powers bill, re-
fused today to vote compensation
for civilian defense workers injured
on duty and left the measure in a
state Of disagreement.
Except for this controversial
clause inserted by the Senate. the
two ranches were in virtual agree
ment on the broad measure con-
ferring on the President and Fed
