THIS WEEK
IN DEFENSE
The President, speaking by
radio, said "The choice we have
to make is this: Shall we make
our full sacrifices now, produce to
the limit, and deliver our products
today &nd every day to the battle
fronts of the entire world? Or
shall we remain satisfied with our
present rate of armament output,
postponing the day of real sacri
fice—as did the French —until it
is too late?
"The first," the President said,
"is the chbice of realism—realism
in terms of three shifts a day;
the fullest use of every vital
machine every minute of every
day and every night;... staying
and entrusting industrial grievan

task that is essential to our total

second choice is the approach of
the blind... for them there is
still 'plenty of time'...And their
tombstones woud bear the legend
'Too late'..."

Civilian Defense Week November
11-16, the President said "Each

must do his share for defense...
