that these countries themselves can

The speed with which outside aid

RECONVERSION:
Make Preparations

With victory in Europe inmi-
nent, and with it a partial recon-
version from wartime to peacetime
output, War Production board took
steps to permit industry to obtain
new machine tools for manufa cture
Of civilian goods.
Biggest major item on WIPES
program was the grant of priorities
to the automobile industry for SO
million dollars of machine tools and
related equipment for civilian manu-
facture. To take from three to seven
months for making, the orders were
placed last fall without priority rat
ing, then dumped when early hopes
of victory faded and the war went
into 1945.
In permitting the placement of or
ders for machine tools and related
equipment for civilian manufacture,
the WPB is developing a plan
whereby such business would not in
terfere with the output of vital ma
terial needed for prosecution Of the
war.
