DEFENCE ROLE OF U.S. INDUSTRY
ELECTRICAL TRADE ACHIEVEMENT
(Rec. 8.20 p.m.) NEW YORK Feb. 20. The Soviet Union could not match the electrical expansion in the United States, Mr Tomlinson Fort, vice-presi-dent of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. said to-day. “America’s electrical industries are expanding for defence production in a way Russia apparently does not comprehend, probably will not believe, and certainly cannot match," he said. “The electric power industry is going to play a key role in the coming production contest between the United States and the Soviet Union. “The American power industry since V-J day has expanded about 40 per cent, and is almost double what it was in 1940. “The growth of the electric power industry will go on at an average rate of something like 6 per cent, a year for the next 15 years and the electrical manufacturing industries will keep pace with the growth.”
