Did you notice the man behind the speaker at the manufacture's meeting? When the speaker said that they couldn't imagine the huge need for material unless they had been in a war, the business man folded his arms and adopted an "oh yeah?" posture. I WONDER if he had been a veteran of an earlier war?
The Russian minister Molotov was imortalized by having a FIRE BOMB named after him. When the Soviets were bombing Finland, he said that they were dropping "food" to the "starving Finns". Those brave people called the Soviet bombs "bread from mister Molotov".

Subject: Or It'll Start Acting Out!
Rousing wartime newsreel featuring a speech by Frederick C. Crawford to the National Association of Manufacturers telling them they need lots more stuff to be made for fighting the war. So go to it, Industry! Build a better tomorrow! Also featured are stories on flooding in Italy, talks between Churchill and Stalin, and a football game. This is one of the more rousing of the patriotic newsreels, reminding viewers over and over that the war will be won through industrial production. And it was.
