    • Abstract:
      The U.S.' master-plan for Industrial remobilization is being assembled in Washington at an accelerating pace as a result of the Berlin, Germany, crisis. Enough of its major provisions have now been made public to provide a fair picture of what a future war will require in terms of wartime industrial organizations, leadership, and basic policy. In the matter of two policies over which fundamental controversies arose during the last war-namely, the monopoly of prime contracts by a small group of corporations, and the appointment of business men as government officials to monitor and negotiate contracts in their own industries, it is now becoming apparent that the more war changes strategically the more it is the same thing for the business group.
