Surplus Goods and Reconversion Policy Debates
Overseas disposal of surplus goods should aim for high profits abroad while aiding postwar restoration, the government advisory committee said. The reconversion policy split WPB leaders over allowing certain manufacturers to resume civilian output, with implications for industry structure and wartime production. Distillers may face corn restrictions for whisky if War Food Administration opposes use of corn, while patent rights face scrutiny over future invention protection.

Congress sets lower annual appropriations for next year
Congress will fall below 160 billion dollars in the coming fiscal year as capital outlays finish and war stocks remain large. Chairman Cannon of the House Appropriations Committee projects about 86 billion for the 12 months starting July, with roughly 54 billion for debt financing and war needs. He notes postwar appropriations have passed a high point and will trend downward despite war changes. The AAA will allocate surplus Army trucks to farmers and haulers to aid this year’s wheat harvest, but supply will be tight and distributed by need, with trucks sold to buyers at or below OPA ceilings through the treasury’s procurement office.
