Editorial on mobilizing industry for war preparation
The piece urges five American technical groups to nominate members for a presidentially appointed board to plan industrial mobilization in war. It links military and rail logistics, notes wartime centralization in Britain, and highlights New Jersey’s 800 factories to be mapped.
