and workers? W e decided that
the latter course was obviously
the safe and sound method of
operation. If enterprise is free
to go ahead with its produc
tion plans and (without the in
terference with the war effort,
of course) businessmen all over
the country will start retooling
and rehiring for peacetime pro
duction immediately after X -
Day and immediately after cut
back notices are sent out. From
four years of experience in war
time production, we have com
plete confidence that American
industry will amaze everyone
with the speed of its resump
tion of peacetime production.
If we tried to set ceilings on
production of this item and
that plant, we would be put
ting ceilings on individual ini
tiative. W ith few exceptions,
there will be plenty of mater
ials for a large scale return to
c i v i l i a n production. Where
there are plenty of materials,
there is no excuse for govern
ment controls over their distri
bution. W e can safely entrust
the detailed planning of recon
version to the individual cor
poration, the individual busi
nessman, and the individual
worker. The W a r Production
Board will be on deck to deal
with any “ hot boxes” that may
develop.
