If the unorgani/.etl manhood strength of the I'nlfed States is Imposing, the Industrial capacity of the nation Is even more impressive. With less than one-tenth of the world’s p«>pulation, we make nearly one-third of all the things produced. In ln»n and steel, for instaii'-e, we turn out more than (Ireat Britain and (lermany. the two next Iarg>st pro ducers, do together. Some of)servers have estimated the present industrial apacify of the T’nlt- ed States at as much as all the rest of the world p\it t(*geth»r. While this is perhaps an overe.stimate, large scale I)roduction has been carried to such a tine point h«*re that no nation can ap proach us in the total produced i>er worker. The average American produces more per hour of labor than the citizen of any other nation. We rely on meihan- ical power three times more i»er man than «loes (Jn'at Itritain, fmir times m»re than ;ermany anti live times more than France.

While the organization which was to result from this inventiuy has only just been started, the work of investigation done indicates in the clear**st manner the factory str(*ngtli of this country. In a i»reliniin:uy report Howard E. ('otiin, chairman of the M)nimittee. stat- *d that there are more than manufacturing concerns in the I’nited States whi h ran renIer lmp»)rtant servlc(> in the event of war.
