Summary	This handbook has been prepared by the Division of Information, War Production Board, to give public speakers a comprehensive picture of one of the most gigantic and complicated undertakings in history -- the American war production program. The material has been compiled to help speakers explain the scope, nature, and effect of the production program and to give Americans in all walks of life an idea of what their contributions can be. Thus, the subject matter concerns not only the mobilization of our manpower, machine power, and material resources but also the readjustments and sacrifices which have to be made and will have to be made on the home front.--p. 1.
