Government control of industry in wartime postwar fears

The article criticizes wartime government regulation of industry as a costly, distorting policy that could hinder postwar recovery. It argues production would fall, wages drop, and investment suffer if controls linger, citing estimates that regulatory costs rise to about 10 percent of net income and warning of a slide toward bankruptcy without relaxation after the war. It stresses the need to end emergency measures to restore competitive industry and living standards.
