Nelson Plans for Reawakening Civilian Production
Nelson told a Senate committee he believes the United States can restore civilian output to prewar levels even as Japan fights. He said Germany’s defeat would trigger reconversion to 1935 levels, boosting consumer goods by about 36 percent, while durable products stay limited until Japan is defeated. He noted WPB reconversion won’t greatly raise civilian output, parts shortages may curb some items, and auto industry reconversion could surge later.
