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.
The 1945 food crop will be one
of biggest in history—but rationing] For the Week . ..
of food will continue for some time.; _
