Already thi year General Motors has delivered guns, tanks,
airplanes, airplane engines, Diesel engines, trucks, shells, and
hundreds of other items for our armed forces to a total value
of more than a billion dollars.
It Is in no spirit of boastfulness that we make this encouraging
report, but with full realization that the job ahead: will call
for even greater effort on the part of all of us.
This ever-increasing contribution to the war effort is being
made in the truly American way: through the application of
management experience, engineering knowledge and mass-
production "know-how. As a result, voluntary reductions have
aireaay oeen maae in
hundreds of millions
contract prices, saving the Government
of dollars.
