It was only natural, then, that li'usiness

other phases of this big Industrial
job* .The presence of Messrs Knudsen
and Stcttintus and I'iegcfs and
their compatriots gave the general
public, coufidence and' rightly so.
These men wel'e not primarily inter
ested in performing interesting statistical
tricks; they liked to sec

synchronized assembly line. That
was what 'the American people wan

Today, the public is getting what

record of accomplishment.
The full figures aren't available', of

progress litis been remarkable."
in the tradition of private Americpn
manufacturing achievements.
Statisticians tell us that in
nine months we have inude more
progress, working together as free
men, tliun the Nazis did in two and
p half years with their much-vaunt
ed government-dictated economy.
American .industry has already
completed more than 3 billion ot
the first 12 billion of defense goods
ordered. Productive faculties oi">
American aircraft factories increased
28 percent in the 50 days ending
March 1. We are well on our way
towards employing one million men
in aircraft production.
?o ?
The machine ool industry, vital
because it makes the big "super*
machines" upon which all mass pro
(luction industries depend, has expanded
by 2,000 percent over the
depression low.
The two-ocean Navy will be ready
two years' ahead of schedule. Our I
newest battleships are coming off i
the ways a years ahead of the lime,
originally anticipated.
Powder plants, tank factories,
great sprawling aircraft plants,
have been completed in record time
and ihe machines have started. turn
ing over almost before the plaster
was dry. " : " '
Steel production reached an alltime
high.
And so the record reads .... It
is more than evident that It was
good Judgment to select skilled pro
ductlon mem to handle this biggest

America strong.
Meanwhile, you can't help but
become Increasingly conscious, If
you move in Washington circles, of

business experience are assuming

of Messrs Hopkins, Henderson
