Contracts To Be Done Cautiously In Demobilization
Washington officials say army contracts will be cancelled with utmost caution to protect labor and capital. War department bureaus survey outstanding contracts and draft recommendations to cover industrial demobilization. Only one contract, for motor truck equipment, is being terminated with parties agreeable. Where many workers may lose jobs or plants face embarrassment, cancellations will await private arrangements. Considerable reductions can be made quickly as contractors shift to postwar work, while plants needing rebuilding will be more complex.
