Mobilizing kilowatts for war

AMERICANS have reason to be proud of this country's industrial might. We have a natural heritage of great factories, raw materials, tools, and skilled man power. This is a country of light and power. No other country of the world has such a combination of natural, human, and mechanized resources. Our economy, however, has been developed to meet peacetime needs. Our men and machines are highly specialized in making automobiles and radios, and other things that improve the standard of living. As yet, we are awkard in making the implements of war. But we must and can make them, and the next year will witness the most difficult and amazing industrial reorganization in history. American industry will be converted, practically overnight, from peacetime mass production to the entirely different job of making the machines of war.
