America’s First Line of Defense
★ America is on the alert. In this flaming
world, the best guarantor of security and peace
is adequate preparedness for defense. An
aroused nation is intent on making these United
States so strong, so well defended, that no nation
or group of nations dare attack us.
★ What constitutes defense? In other days, it
was trained manpower, weapons, and food. To-
day, these things are necessary, yes—but most
important is industrial production. The multi-
tude of requirements for mechanized warfare
has now made industry America’s first line of
defense.
* The key to stepped-up industrial produc-
tion is POWER-—more POWER—to move the
wheels of industry faster, ever FASTER.
★ FUEL is power. Today, Natural Gas plays a
major role in industrial production. It provides
industry with the flexible, abundant, clean
source of dependable energy adaptable to the
high-speed, highly specialized production meth-
ods of our modern industrial system.
