Excerpt from Production Goes to War This is a war of production - machine against machine. It is total war, and the phrase means what it says - total. Our way of life is based on machine production. When that way of life is called upon to defend itself, it is natural that mechanical power, which has had so large a part in its con struction, should assume an equally large share in its preservation.

Excerpt from Production Goes to War This is a war of production - machine against machine. It is total war, and the phrase means what it says - total. Our way of life is based on machine production. When that way of life is called upon to defend itself, it is natural that mechanical power, which has had so large a part in its con struction, should assume an equally large share in its preservation. The ability of American industry to produce is beyond question. No one doubts that we have the men, the machines, the genius, and the skills to make anything we want to make in any quantity. Our industrial record for the past 50 years proves that we can do it. The job now in hand is to organize our vast resources. Every skill, every man engaged in this effort must now produce toward a single goal. There is only one answer to those who seek to rule the world by force of planes and ships and tanks and guns. The answer is more planes, more ships, more tanks, and more guns. The implements of war sufficient for the task in hand are not to be had overnight - neither for the asking, nor for the appropriating of money, nor by any means except the full unstinted concentration of the productive resources, human and material, of this productive Nation. The sustained ability to produce is itself a weapon. In this war of assembly lines it is the master weapon, governing grand strategy, military tactics, and human courage alike.
