SPEED-UP IN DEFENCE
U.S.A. NOT PRODUCING AT WAR SPEED Received Feb. 19. 11.10 p.m. NEW YORK, Feb. 18. Mr. W. C. Bullitt, former United States Ambassador in Paris, in an address, urged a stepping up of the defence programme. “If the Germans, by controlling the air, should be victorious, the Nazi dream of a German super-race ruling a world of unarmed slaves might well become a reality,” he said. . . . "The United States is not yet producing at war speed. If we willed the end and willed the means we could double the number of planes we now plan to produce in 1942.”
