He warned he would veto the Daniels bill if approved by the House and cited tax valuations and enrollment trends as factors shaping the plan.

War economy in transition from expansion to reconversion
Brig. Gen. Leonard P. Ayres says the United States is shifting from an expanding wartime economy to a shrinking phase with a major war still to win. He notes half current U.S. goods are war related, expects contraction to last about five years, and reconversion to drive activity for years. European postwar issues and German surrender raise peacetime burdens. Germany faces food deficits and reduced coal output as it pivots to normal trade.

He noted he had spoken with Foreign Minister Eden and that no definite decision had been made. Allied forces reported major advances on Okinawa and in the Philippines as heavy fighting continued.
