Churchill Urges Maximum Mobilization For War Effort
Prime Minister Winston Churchill calls for full mobilization of men and women to boost wartime production and military strength with American aid. He proposes raising the compulsory service age to 50, drafting 1.62 million unmarried women ages 20 to 30, and registering 16 to 18 year olds for national service. He says Britain can soon outmatch the Axis in equipment and vows readiness against invasion and air raids.
