aaid. i "Al! the United Nations are seeking maximum conaervation to war production, in the light of their special resource*. If each country I devotes roughly the same fraction of it* national production to the war, then the financial burden of war I* distributed equally among th.- United Nation* in accordance with their ability to pay. And although the nation*, richest In resource* are able to make larger < ontributJons, the claim of war againat each I* relatively th.- same. "Such a financial distribution of the financial costs of war means th.it no nation will grow rich from the war efforts of it* allien. The money costs of the war will fall according to the rule of equality in sacrifice, a* in effort." Th.- president said the next step m the war against the Axis would be for "our military.
