Little business anger at defense program and one man in Washington
A confidential memo by Lowell Mellett criticizes OPM and the war department handling of defense contracts. It says small firms are shut out in favor of big players, while SPAB and Contract Distribution fail to help. In Washington, Thurman Arnold’s Small Business section, led by Guy Holcomb, stands as the sole effective advocate for small business, securing contracts and access for its clients. The piece also notes broader wartime tensions with France, Vichy, Turkey, and strategic British defense moves, and forecasts 8,000,000 defense workers by fall 1942.
