Abstract :
The electric-power industry of the United States is said to be capable of meeting any national emergency calling for more power capacity PREPAREDNESS for war-time power supply or preparedness for war in any other respect, does not mean expectancy of war or desire for war. But just as one takes out a fire-insurance policy as a protection against what he knows may happen but hopes will not, so it is necessary to examine our resources and abilities as though we actually did have to face a war.
