Post-War Aid to Small Business Urged by Nelson
War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson urged Congress to create machinery for post-war civilian small business participation, warn against freezing productive capacity, and propose a War Liabilities Adjustment Board to manage facilities and prevent small firms from becoming total war casualties. He supported moratorium on fixed charges, war-financing for small business, and technical help.

Government urged aid to small firms after war ends
Nelson urged priority for small business enterprises in acquiring machinery and equipment when the war ends. He argued a sound postwar economy requires room for small firms to enter fields and compete, not to have machinery or labor kept in cold storage during the war.

War Industry Control Proposed to Close 24 000 Firms by 1942
Nelson outlined two paths to mobilize full war power. The first is taking orders for war goods, the second meeting minimum civilian needs of current firms. He warned many manufacturers would need to close by October 1, 1942. He favored commanding orders but said full execution is unlikely. He described shifting production to active plants, moving labor, management, inventories, and equipment as a piecemeal response.
