Wallace drives postwar commerce reform in Washington
Henry A. Wallace, new secretary of commerce, outlines plans to streamline the department, boost small business through character banking and equity financing, remove tariff barriers, and expand foreign trade. He envisions reform of the patent office and greater CAA influence, with surplus property under his control starting May 1. Local offices and targeted programs are expected to follow.
