He disclosed, after conferring with President Roosevelt, that a single American firm will be turning out weapons at the rate of 4.000,000 dollars' worth a year by the end of 1942. Captain Lyttelton illustrated the unnamed company's gigantic scope by pointing out that it was equivalent to building the Panama Canal every six weeks.
