MO MATTER whose the fault
~ or what the circumstances,
the richest and most provision
blessed country in all the world
is caught short in the necessi-
ties of war at a most crucial
moment of the war.
1t does not matter whether
the Nazi is short, too.
1t does not matter whether
the japanese is short, too. 1t
only matters that we are short.
/ recently attended a gather
ing where the shortness of mu-
nitions of war was discussed
with brutal frankness and l
came away with the strong i'm
preston that things are not so
good
Your kin are in this as mine
are.
And when I hear that If we
don't have this and we don't
have that, the casualty lists
viii swell. l have no mind for
dNNJnlnG out tIldt.
True. we all asked why we
were told that the war would
soon be over, why we were
lulled into hopefulness and OPP
timism.
Well. maybe II was politics.
Maybe it was just plain fool
ishness.
60 TIE argument comes
~ down TO production.
WPB people say we can pro-
duCe anything needed, as
needed. if the manpower Is
available not only in adequate
numbers but in the right places
at the right time. -
Their headache is that they
cannot stabilize production be-
cause the war keeps changing
its pace and style and the gen.
erals have TO meet the changes.
Today. they shout for tanks.
Tomorrow, they can not use
the tanks; they have TO have
trucks.
1t is that kind Of a war.
And nobody can wait because
the enemy refuses 10 wait. II
we pause, he kills. So we can
not pause. We cannot salvage.
We have TO throw in our

II can get-Nand take II.
This war Is not won,
Those who thought il would
be won in 1914 were wrong.
They might even we wrong

Don't be fooled by the bunk

at us.
This war will not be won until
we see our boys marching home
