long list of other items which are operated by the in
visible “juice” that comes out of a wall plug. Soon al
most all American farms will either be using central
station power, or will have it available. And, in indus
try, dependable power service is as vital as is the blood
stream to a living being.
Our leadership in electrification is unquestioned.
American power production in the year which ended
this September was more than the entire world pro
duction in 1929. We generate five times as much electri
city as the next ranking nation, Russia.
Free enterprise did all this — not government, not
dictators. It gives us the finest electric service on earth
for about a third as much as we spend for tobacco. The
record speaks for itself — and it is just beginning.
