Edison proposes a vast storage battery of war forces to deter invasion. He urges organizing the nation for defense with a civilian military board, combining big business leaders and top officers, expanding training and academies, and stockpiling munitions and ammunition. He envisions massive production plants, coast fortifications, and a ready reserve ready to mobilize quickly.

Envisioned War Mobilization and National Autocracy

The author urges vast wartime preparations including self capable plants, stockpiled raw materials, expansive signaling and air capabilities, and a government led overhaul of transport and infrastructure.
