War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson and allies urged Congress to create a war liabilities adjustment board to aid debt restructurings and provide financing for small businesses facing postwar bankruptcy risks. Senator Taft opposed funding a wide program, arguing it would prolong unprofitable competition and burden the government after the war, while Nelson pressed for case by case solutions and a WPB agency to acquire machinery and equipment for plants unable to switch to war production.
