WWII - 1945, USA Government: Labor Shortage Announced Intertitle: Byrnes Calls For Return Of Workers To Their War Jobs. 17:19:57 Director of War Mobilization James Byrnes seated at desk reading speech SOF: “Today our soldiers & sailors at the front have the ammunition & supplies they need. But in a few weeks they may be short of supplies if we fail to replace the reserves they are now using. Last year 600,000 civilians left war work. Today, if they are working at all, they are engaged in less essential or non-essential industry. If we are to meet the demands from the front for ammunition & for other supplies these people must go back to war work. In 1945 we must think more of the production of war goods & less of the production of civilian goods. And all of us must draw in our belt. From this day on we must have one objective: To win the war!” WW2; War Effort; USA Homefront; 1940s;
