Nelson Sees Industry Willing to Forgo Wartime Profits
War Production Board Chairman Donald M. Nelson told the Senate Appropriations Committee that most industry would work for little or no profit during the war if protected against capital losses. He urged flexible authority to renegotiate contracts with possible excessive profits and supported a sliding scale of limitations on profits in a pending military supply bill. He estimated that 90 percent of manufacturers seek only a reasonable profit while avoiding capital impairment in new war production fields.
