Post War Challenge Warns of Postwar Economic Risks
George A. Sloan New York City Commissioner of Commerce warned at the New York Building Congress meeting that after the war free enterprise faces reconstruction and peacetime transformation tasks. He urged immediate postwar planning toward a civilian economy to prevent greater government intrusion. He cited a likely boom in demand for civilian goods and a potential surge in home building, estimating 600000 plus new dwellings may be required in the early postwar period. Extensive repairs of aging housing will also be needed, underscoring the need to sustain employment after the war amid high taxes.
