SPEECH OF HONORABLE HARRY S.
TRUMAN TO BE DELIVERED
ARCKIVES 400
OCTOBER 16 AT LOS ANGELES
6
Permit me to congratulate you people of Los
Angeles for the mighty fine job you have done in producing
airplanes and ships and many other items of war material.
As Chairman of the Truman Senate Committee, it was my
duty and privilege to prod for greater production and
to check and recheck to make sure that our soldiers
obtained the weapons they need to beat the enemy. The
backing of the public helped us get results. When we
found laggards, we never hesitated to force improvement.
When we found obstacles, we went to work to remove them.
But when we found a good job, we said so, and the
Committee unanimously, Democrats and Republicans alike,
agreed that by and large a splendid job was done, Our
soldiers and sailors are getting what they need to win
this war.

A
good job was turned in here) We never had to
you
criticize Our efforts were confined to helping you
overcome some of your problems.
You helped to prove that the United States
could outproduce the world in war as well as in peace.
You helped to confound the doubting Thomases
who scoffed at the goals set by the President as fantastic.
