HUGE ARMS PRODUCTION
PLAN FOR VICTORY Is
OUTLINED BY PRESIDENT
Program For Total Victory Is
Enthusiastically Received In
Congress On Tuesday.

A breath-taking mammoth
arms production with American
forces fighting on many fronts,
and an eventual hard hitting
attack on the enemy's own ter
ritory, were woven into a unified
war plan by President Roosevelt
Tuesday and presented to an en-
Enthusiastically receptive Con-
greSs.
There were gasps and whistles OF
amazement from some members Of
Congress as he outlined the army
production program:
This year $4,000 planes; next year
125,OOO.
This year $4,000 tanks; next year
$4,000.
This year 10000 anti-aircraft guns
next year $4,000.
This year 100000 tons of ship
ping; next year 10,0Ga. 900 tons.
"The figures" said the President
land similar figures for a multitude Of
other implements of war will give the
Japanese and Nazis a little idea of
just what they accomplished in the
attack at Pearl Harbor"
Some of the highlights from his
message on the state of the Union:
The militarists in Berlin and Tokyo
started this war But the massed, eli
gered forces Of common humanity
will finish it.
They know that victory for US
means victory for freedom, for the in
stitution of democracy, the ideal of the
family, the simple principles of COM
mon decency and humanity; victory
for religion.
We must raise our sights all along
the production line Let no man say it
cannot be done. 1t must be done-and
we have undertaken to do it.
We cannot wage this war in a de-
fcnsive spirit. AS our power and re-
sources are fully modified, we shell
carry the attack against the enemy
