On the lessons taught by actual war we must figure out
carefully what our country lacks in raw materials and
accumulate great stores of these which shall never be
utilized until _Der Tag_ of the future. We must organize the
industrial mobilization as perfectly as the military
mobilization. Every man of technical training or partial
technical training, whether or not he is enrolled in the
list of men who can be mobilized, must have received
authority by official order to take over the direction of
industrial establishments on the second day which shall
follow the next declaration of war.
Every establishment which manufactures for commercial
purposes ought to be mobilized and to know officially that
the third day after the declaration of war it must make use
of all its facilities in satisfying the needs of the Army.
The quantity of merchandise which each one of these
establishments can furnish to the Army in a given time and
the nature thereof ought to be determined in advance. Every
establishment also ought to furnish an exact and complete
list of the workmen with whose services it can dispense, and
those men alone can be mobilized for military services.
