U S Arms Output To Double Axis Says Nelson
War Production Board chair Donald M. Nelson told British leaders that U S war output in the current year would be at least 1.5 times Germany and Japan combined, and next year could reach twice that total. He cited 110000 military planes since Jan 1 1942, a rate of one completed plane every five minutes, plus 60000 tanks and tank chassis, 53000 scout cars, 1100000 trucks and trailers, and hundreds of thousands of ships and artillery rounds. He urged frankness and warned against peace by power bargains, criticizing diplomacy of squeeze and grab.
