Hopefully, the stories will help young people develop a deeper appreciation for the things they have so readily today and a greater un Read More Go to Site

		The Nye Report on the Munitions Industry and World Peace, 1936 ^Votes:0 Report of the Special Committee on Investigation of the Munitions Industry (The Nye Report), U.S. Congress, Senate, 74 th Congress, 2 nd sess., February 24, 1936, pp. 3-13. FINDINGS I. NATURE OF THE MUNITIONS COMPANIES The committee finds, under the head of "the nature of the industrial and commercial organizations engaged in the manufacture of or traffic in arms, ammunitions, or other implements of war" that almost none of the munitions companies in this country confine themselves exclusively to the manufacture of military materials. Great numbers of the largest suppliers to the Army and Navy (Westinghouse, General Electric, du Pont, General Motors, Babcock & Wilcox, etc.) are predominantly manufacturers of materials for civilian life. Others, such as the aviation companies and Read More Go to Site
