‘More Guns, Ammunition’

Byrnes’ report most comprehensive. ever ‘issued on the status of. the war program. at home. : Byrnes paid. deep tributes to those producing war weapons and the men. using them against the | enemy but he emphasized that | both jobs are far from gone. Our forces in’ the - field need | more guns, more ammunition, more| trucks, more tires, more ships, more | dairpianes, more rockets and more| men to finish the job which they| have done ~so well to date,” Be declared, Admitting that the govérnment| had made “one too early start” on| reconversion last summer, Byrnes! said that it had begn necessary since that time to “undd what had| been done” in order to- make the public fully aware ofc the pressing need for more munitions. 140 Billion in Savings He noted that consumers -now| have $140,000,000,000 in cash and] war bonds, much of it representing a potential demand for automobiles, | refrigerators—and-other-goods. This| situation,” he warned, can force up| prices vest there is adequate pro-| vision for price control while AmeriLan industry is warming up for] peacetime production. Byrnes suggested some modifica-| tions in excess profit taxes and on tax laws pertaining to depreciation allowances on equipment to help in-| dustry, and especially small business, look to the reconversion. period | with greater confidence. The Byrnes report provided the | first glimpse of the legislative pro-! gram . which the Roosevelt administration will propose tg the new congress as its part in speeding | victory and laying the groundwork for enduring ‘peace ‘with economic prosperity.
