Abstract :
The engineering genius that has given the United States the world´s highest living standards in peacetime can put into war materials the speed factor needed to overcome the inefficiency that is part of the price of democracy, according to this engineering educator, who believes our production experts will convert “too little and too late” into “enough and on time.” The extra costs to us as a nation and as individuals of having to make up quickly for our neglect of defense are part of the price we must pay in order that in normal times we may order our lives as we will.
