Aftermath of Government Contracts Review
The director of munitions reports total government claims on cancelled and curtailed war contracts at 700 million dollars. If those contracts had continued, government costs could have reached six billion. About 24,199 contracts were curtailed post armistice, with nearly 16,000 disposed of by May 7 and 2,500 more settled. Actual awards due to termination or curtailment total 152 million. The wartime surge left the government as a vast buyer and, after hostilities ended, faced surplus materials and machinery in peacetime adjustment. A War Department plan to recover funds involved scrapping and reallocating assets, creating a director of Ralos and an expert staff to manage surplus war items.
