Dewey told the New York County Lawyers Association that the United States needs immediate economic mobilization and universal military training. He called for 25 percent of productive capacity for defense, a pay-as-you-go rearmament program, broad taxes, and a single authority to run the defense effort, plus universal service for those over 17 and rapid draft expansion.
