WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—Most government officials, especially the army and navy, don't like to have people even whisper that the war won't last forever.

It is far from over. Much dying is yet to be done by American boys. We need to continue buying war bonds.

In that, they will have the | support of German industrialists and indeed everyone | except professional Nazis who will be assassinated | or executed when the end comes, When Germany drops out of the war, American war production in total can be cut at least 50 per cent. | Some items of war equipment aré being reduced | sharply now, Army ordnance officials have indicated we are heavily overstocked now on small arms ammunition and some plants are being closed. When Ger-| many is defeated we shall not need heavy tank pro- | duction any longer. Production of some items of | equipment may bé cut 75 per cent, or stopped completely. Increases may be required in others to continue the war against Japan. It won't be a horizontal cut. Yet half or more of our total industrial war production will become superfluous. :

Necessary to Plan Ahead

WITH SUCH a large change as that in. the cards, it is necessary to plan ahead and be ready to readjust when Germany falls. : Speed will be highly desirable in the changeover to civilian production, Otherwise heavy unemployment would develop. -It is desirable to begin producing civilian goods as quickly as possible. Alarm clocks are badly needed, for instance.not to mention refrig-

erators. for health reasons, and automoliles and tires|

for thousands of persons to whom they are an eco-

a wife of a soldier overseas to get an electric iron or washing machine. 7 But a smooth changeover takes planning. For instance, one $20,000,000 manufacturing plant now has $50,000,000 worth of government materials in it. If the government should order that production stopped suddenly. the manufacturer could not resume his civilian work until that enormous supply of government brass and other metal stock was out of the plant. It' is a physical problem. Where would such enormous quantities of materials be stored? Hundreds of such instances exist. We shall see severe shortage of warehouse space. : ? All of this is covered under the dull name of contract termination, but it is one of the biggest home front jobs ahead of us.
