TRUMAN SENATE
COMMITTEE er
POST WAR PLAN
By JAMES ‘PRESTON
The lack of ‘‘ground rules’’ which
will permit industry to.-make full
postwar employment possible is, one,
of the most urgent domestic anxieties of congress.
(More and more the. gentlemen gh
Capitol Hill, are cqnyinced ‘these days
that the surest foundation . to support jobs. after: the war is a sound}
and . virilé industry, ‘encouraged by
government rather than being aubject. to unnecessary. regulations controls and restrictions,
This growing feeling is summarized.in the latest report of the Senai¢:
Special (Truman) Committee, which
is investigating the national defense
program. It asserts. that private industry should take the lead after
the war in providing employment,
and that businessmen should be advised in. advence by, the government
as to what they. can and cannot do.
This makes sense to congress—as
do the five steps that the Truman
committee is urging the government
to take. They are: :
1 Determine the method by
which contracts: are to be terminated after the war. 2 Determine’ the
advance notice,.which industry can}
have’ of the terminations, 3. Determine the metheds ‘for insuring . the
early rémoval of gévernment from
‘private plants, so as to make them
available for the production of civilian articles. 4 Determine the extent
to which the government “will. make
or, guarantee loans to provide /business with working eapital. 5 Determine the’ condition upon which the
government will lease or ‘sell the
plants and facilities which have been
constructed for the war effort.
No-“tiatter how able Dusines
are, the Truman Committee ‘iit
out, ‘they. cannot. make plans. that
are worthwhile until they know the
conditions under which they wiil
have to operate.’
So keen is <cnmenesiana rage
in contract termination and reslated
problems that five other House and
Senate groups, in addition to “the
Truman Committee are studying the
‘subject. which is so vital to full post
