Final Report of the Special Committee on Defense Migration
The Special House committee on national defense migration cites general maladministering of the war program, haphazard manpower use and weak small industry mobilization. It urges creation of an Office of War Mobilization, rewritten employment services, federal regulation of labor agencies, social security revisions, and uniform settlement laws to curb migrant labor and stockpile staples for postwar needs. It warns against overreliance on large corporations and expects ongoing unemployment and postwar strains.
