"National morale is not as good as it should be today to conduct a huge armament program or, if necessary, a war efort...It is reported in usually well-informed Washington circles that the President has become sufficently concerned about the problem of morale to consider placing Colonel William J. Donovan, Intelligence Coordinator, in charge of an intensified campaign to build up domestic morale.
Some of these reports go so far as to say that a detailed campaign already is being worked out..."

I wonder how Wild Bill thinks a major attack on the United States would effect Americans' fighting spirits?
