The speaker argues that fears of labor and mobilization repeating wartime shortages are unfounded. He notes successful homefront mobilization without conscription, urges smooth demobilization, and outlines how raw materials foreign trade and shipping support postwar reconstruction. He emphasizes preserved manpower and equipment, and the need for price adjustments before full industrial resumption.
The speaker argues manufacturers will not see wage cuts for years. He cites rising material costs, higher labor demand, and wartime wage gains from overtime and Sunday work. Farming, shipping, and overseas trade demand growth as stocks and credits shift postwar. Immigration will not replenish prewar levels. Europe’s limits on movement may persist. (To be continued.)
