arms as Britain and Russia together.
     But it has been assumed in the tables which follow that the United States requirements will
be no higher than those of Britain. This assumption is manifestly absurd.
     Even so, it will be seen that when the external requirements of Russia, the total
requirements of Britain and this purely arbitrary figure for United States requirements are set
against the total planned production of the United States, Canada and Britain, the deficits are
considerable.
     If it would be convenient to supply a list of the actual requirements of the United States,
then it would be shown that the deficits are, in fact, overwhelming.
