A Detroit Edison Man Examines the

State of the Nation's Electrical Industry • • •

Here Are His Conclusions—

Early last January, James W. Parker, President of

The Detroit Edison Company, reported how Edison

Better International Relations

was increasing its electric service to southeastern Mich-

igan. Now a similar report for the entire American

electric industry has been completed by Walker L

Our wartime and postwar achievements in the field
of electric power are an inspiration for other
nations allied with us which are endeavoring to
stimulate their recovery, strengthen their national
economy, and raise their standard of living. Our
operating practices, engineering improvements,
and construction methods serve to demonstrate the
technical assistance which other nations less
fortunate than ourselves may use to their advantage.

Cisler, Executive Vice President of Detroit Edison. MG

Cisler was selected by the Edison Electric Institute to

make this report because of his extensive background

in utility operations, both here and in the service of

our government abroad. His conclusions are of such

importance to America that they are summarized here

One of America's Greatest Sources of Strength

The Need for a Federal Electric Power Polity

The existing electric power resources of the United States are
the largest in the world, accounting for almost one-half of the
total production and consumption for all nations. They are
nearly. six times that of the next nearest nation, the U.S.S.R4
Although America, with only 7% of the world's population
uses nearly half of the world's electricity, our resources are
being expanded at a rate far greater than in any other period
of the electric industry's history.

The establishment of a wise and constructive policy by our
Government towards the electric industry can do much to
enable that industry to assist in promoting and insuring the
social, economic, and political stability of our country. That
is a purpose which is worthy of the thoughtful consideration
of all who believe in the demo-cratic principles of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness,

Surprisingly Enough, After the War,
the Need for Power Kept Increasing

The postwar period, with its unprecedented increase in power
requirements, has made necessary an even greater marshal-
ling of existing equipment. Generating equipment and other
facilities have been coordinated, pooled, and operated to the
fullest extent. It is to the everlasting credit of all of the people
in the industry that this has been possible. Their achievements
give one faith in the continuation of a free America and a
bulwark against the spread of !'isms'! foreign to our way of life.
