Washington, August 20.—All phas es of the problem of reconversion are being given prior consideration j in Washington. Other work has been put aside in order that various de partments can catch up with the speed of the war and peace develop-!^ ments. The over-all picture, as gathered at Washington as to the war comes to an end, shows: Some five million workers will bej laid off at war plants. While some will retire from the labor field, post-: war industry will be able to employ most of the balance. Army and Navy has halted work involving more than 26 billion dol-! lars. The war has cost nearly three 1 hundred billion dollars, in addition f to the quarter million dead—a total: casualty list of more than one mil-' lion. • j While the treasury department j d6es not want a radical cut in taxes, it looks as if congress will make sub- i stantial reductions. Government 1 spending will be reduced but will] continue far* above the prewar era. ] War Production board will expe dite manufacture of civilian goods, aid Of some sort will be provided by the government during reconversion. Travel conditions will remain se rious for some months. With more than five million men being dis charged during next 12 months, the army transportation demands will remain great. In addition closing of war plants will see thousands of families moving back to their for mer homes. Long delayed travel holidays will be in order, placing additional tax on transportation.
