Shall we increase - production or beoom6

This ie the question which every m.n in
Great Britain must ask hilll8811 to.day, and
not only as): the questioo but answer it.
, The great war 'ilI one of tlie greatest preofs
to.day of what can be done by oo:c!JI6ration.
When ou.r fighting men 'Were ~ling for
munitions of war in quantitie& lIUeard of
before, the whole"oountry UUlwereli that call,

produeed. and aent ovel'86U, aad thus viot(>ry and tire safety of tlle world were aored.
