General War Board Urged Purchasing System Attack
Atlantic City September 19 speakers at a war convention of American business men urged reorganizing the government purchasing system. Waddill Catchings proposed a new department like Britain’s ministry of munitions with full price fixing powers and purchase priority over firms. He argued the War Industries Board has only limited authority and imperfect impact, and called for removing purchasing from army navy control to prevent chaos and high prices. Secretaries Baker and Lane said victory requires full business cooperation and action to align profits with war aims.
