Burgin, broadcasting to Germany in German, stated that with American help Britain and Franae would soon be producing double Germany’s aeroplanes. After stating that he knew Germany and Germans intimately. Dr. Burgin said that America’s repeal of the arms embargo would have a far-reaching effect on the course of the war. Britain could easily take advantage of the cash-and-carry clause and America’s resources would provide the Allies with an industrial hinterland of the greatest magnitude, continued Dr. Burgin. America's annual steel production equalled that of the whole of Europe, and she had more than two-thirds of the world’s oil production. Britain and France had great resources and their Empires’ were still greater. “ Briefly, the Allies’ supplies are endless, whereas Germany’s must end early,” said Dr. Burgin.
