Stabilization policy aims to spur postwar production in U S
The Truman administration unveiled a wage price policy setting wage increases of 15 to 17 percent and allowing price boosts to protect prewar profit margins. John Snyder led conservatives pushing broader controls to avert inflation while Bowles administers the plan. The move seeks to resume mass production and ease bottlenecks, with ongoing price controls and subsidies extended. The report also covers U S and Argentine relations, the blue book accusing Peronist regime of collaboration with the Axis, and global food and production outlook for 1946 including meat, bread, and rubber shortages and rising horse and goat slaughter amid wartime demand.
