Roosevelt addresses nation on war production and sacrifice
In a nationwide radio speech President Roosevelt outlined two key war plans: speed up existing production on a seven day week and expand capacity with new and expanded plants. He framed sacrifice as a privilege, urged tax support and savings, and warned of metal shortages while promising food sufficiency. He proclaimed a global struggle against brutal regimes and a resolve to win war and peace for future generations. The address followed a day of rapid developments including a proclamation about threats of predatory incursions by Japan and details of the Hawaii attack losses.
