REA Enlisted for the War

Abstract

This is a report on how the REA program has thrown itself into the war, and what it has accomplished. Such a report has an important and obvious bearing on whether and how the program should be continued during the war, and whether it is earning a postwar claim to restoration and expansion. Participation by the REA program in the war naturally divides into four principal phases: 1. Application of electricity to the production of food. 2. Electric service to produce goods and train men for the fighting fronts. 3. Technical advice on problems of electricity supply for such production and training, in cases where construction of the physical facilities is not undertaken under REA supervision or sponsorship. 4. Mobilization of rural communities in home-front activities such as collecting scrap material, war bond sales, and equitable distribution and full utilization of scarce or rationed goods.
