But in those two years, he said, the United States would have to keep up the fullest degree of drive and unity and overcome its tendency to let its enthusiasm ebb and flow.

Mr Wilson's remarks were made in his first quarterly report as director of the mobilisation programme,

"Already we have made America measurably safer," he said.
