for the arrangements already practically completed for your 
      air in the equipment of the army which we have already planned 
      and for the provision of American-type weapons for an additional 
      l0 divisions in time for the campaign of 1942. But when the tide 
      of dictatorship begins to recede, many countries, trying to regain 
      their freedom, may be asking for arms, and there is no source 
      to which they can look except to the factories of the United 
      States. I must therefore also urge the importance of expanding 
      to the utmost American productive capacity for small arms, artillery 
      and tanks.
 
      
 
 
16. I am arranging to present you with a complete program 
      of mullions of all kinds which we seek to obtain from you, the 
      greater part of which is of course already agreed. An important 
      of economy of time and effort will be produced if the types selected 
      for the United States Services should, whenever possible, conform 
      to those which have proved their merit under actual conditions 
      of war. In this way reserves of guns and ammunition and of airplanes 
      become inter-changeable and are by that very fact augmented. 
      This is however a sphere so highly technical that I do not enlarge 
      upon it.
