| Description: | Use catalog # 200756 Washington, D.C. President Franklin Roosevelt, in an address to Congress, speaks of how the nation was stirred by Winston Churchill's recent visit and address. He also wishes him a safe return to his home. He states that the war effort for the upcoming fiscal year will cost 56 billion dollars. Within the year, he wants to produce 60,000 airplanes and 45,000 tanks. He says this will give the Germans and Japanese a little idea of just what they accomplished in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt says the war will end when we make it end. | |
