[PRCo] Re: Pgh Railways Street Car Operators Wanted Ad

[Ken and Tracie]

Phillip is correct.

Mobilization and military build-up in the United States was in full force by 
1940. The United States knew war was inevitable. Our country was already 
providing indirect aid to both Great Britain and China. Stateside military 
bases were already under construction and the draft was being enacted.
