Publisher’s News Letter

Asst. Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis recently made some very direct statements regarding Industrial Preparedness. Some of the views have a particular bearing on aerial preparedness such as: Our plans strive to provide the cheapest and best insurance against war that a nation can carry;” “Industry alone cannot win wars but it may lose them ; It is better to have enough of an inferior article than none of a superior;” “If we utilize industry intelligently there will be little need for new facilities;” “Our requirements should be kept up-to-date in terms intelligible to industry showing our needs from month to month;” “Whenever practicable commercial standards should be adopted for munitions.”
