AMERICAN PRODUCTION
(8.0.W.) RUGBY, Aug. 24. Mr George Myrell, head of the United States Mission to India, broadcasting, said the motor-car industry in America would produce 45,000 tanks this year, while one plane was being turned out every eight and a-half minutes. Presiment Roosevelt’s estimate of 60,000 planes a year would be exceeded and Ford’s factory in Michigan was turning out one four-engined bomber every hour. Twelve and a half-million workers were employed in war production in America and in a year 17,000,000 workers would be producing for victory. The ship-building industry was turning out three ships daily and the output would soon be four ships.
