Fr Charles Copelans Smith addressed nearly 200 at the Elyria Chamber of Commerce dinner at the Elks ballroom warning that Americans risk an adolescent optimism as the nation fights. He cited Russia and China as bright spots, urged readiness, praised the press and radio commentators, and outlined three reasons for slow preparedness: American psyche, switch to war production, and strike-related losses. He urged higher taxes on industry and said the UN can win, stressing the cost may be worth it for humanity.
