War mobilization plan outlines new industry government ties
Principles for a wartime framework have been drafted in three weeks of high level talks at the commerce department. A top war industries administrator and an advisory council would steer price labor finance and foreign trade with broad presidential oversight but reduced direct control. The plan envisions voluntary cooperation over mandatory rules with anti-trust protections and a phased shift from peace to war status, along with reinforced labor training and possible railroad takeovers if needed.
