GERMANY'S START LOST
RACE WITH ALLIES
- WASHINGTON, October 3. | At this moment Britain's war production per, head of the population is the greatest of any nation," the British Ambassador, Lord Halifax, told the Foreign Policy Association. He continued: "Britain has outmatched German chemists and engineers, held her own in aircraft design, and also led in radio location." As an instance of the speeding up of production, he said' that 2£ man-hours were once necessary to produce a machine-gun component, but now the work is completed in six minutes. Bombers are being built in one-third the former time.
.The Anglo-Americanproduction will still be rising when Germany's begins to sag, and next spring Germany will have to choose between military and industrial efforts." Lord Halifax said.
"The race is still on. and the finish is a long way off, but Germany has lost her start. We are still holding the Atlantic, lifeline in spite of unremitting attacks. If the Germans could cut that lifeline they would not merely have won a great victory; they would have won the war. Both they and we know this."
