LAGGING PRODUCTION
(Continued From Page 4)
Army production, which aggregated
$1,885,000,000 in May, must be increas
ed in the fall of this year to $2,270,000,-
000 per month, an increase of 17 per
cent over the May rate, if our 1944 re
quirements are realized. The failure
to achieve present schedules indicates
that our needs can be met only with
an intensified all-out war production
effort which will call for the utmost
endeavor on the part of both manage
ment and labor. Each slippage in
monthly schedules adds to this prob
lem. There can be no relaxation in
our determination to meet these goals
if our present strategy is to bring the
results designed. There must be no
decrease in our pressure on the enemy,
and a constant stream of war muni
tions is essential to the maintenance of
this pressure.
