WPB official warns civilian goods revival unlikely before next year
A Washington WPB official says restoring civilian goods production is hardly possible until late next year due to already deep cuts in military allocations. He notes further cuts could prolong the war by six months, while pressure grows to restock shelves. The army’s steel demand was cut to 2.9 million tons for the quarter, and other agencies faced similar reductions.
