We cant meet this danger simply by passing a law, even if it appro- priates billions. The answer to three questions is absolutely imperative. (1) What are wre to defend? That is an answer to be made by the President and the state department. (2) What do we need to defend it? That is an answer to be made by the army and (3) How can we best and navy. most quickly and economically get what we need? That is for the leaders of industry. For Gods sake lets show just a fraction of Hitlers intelligence and preserve not only our skin but the teeth we are going to need so badly. U. S.

This intensive fighting along the 2(H) mile front from the North sea to Saai brueckt n was of utmost importance to the allies and Germany alike. This was indicated by the staggering amount of force each side whipped into the finv. Some experts claimed that this first great battle might be the most decisive of the war. It appeared that Adolf Hitler firmly believing that "the Hour had come, or foiced through Germanys internal situation, had derided to stake all in one gigantic gamble.
