Price stabilization and wage costs cited by Knox
Knog quoted OPA figures showing that if price increases had followed the last war pattern, Navy expenditures would have risen by about 17 billion dollars. He argued wage stabilization under the act kept labor costs in fighting equipment down, noting that without national service legislation labor could have been kept only by higher wages. Without price stabilization, he warned, contract costs would rise and coat-plug terms would reappear.
