Corporate profits and war contracts in postwar reassessment
Publicists criticize big war industries for high profits, citing earnings from General Motors and 495 large firms whose 1942 net sales reached 27.85 billion. After charges, profits fell 16 percent from 1941, while reserves for taxes and contingencies rose, shaping a view that renegotiation and postwar funds are not true profits but preparation for reconversion. The piece notes mass production shifts and a looming civilian rebuild, with a jab at traffic courts and wartime bravado.
