would open up on the issue at a

to the full board, declared ii
WIPES duty to ''get- rid of regula.
tons and production limitations as
quickly as possible and by doing
SO automatically lift the ceiling on
initiative, imagination and re-
ourcefulness."
Krug declared the main objec.
tive will continue unchanged - to
see that munitions schedules are
met. Some unemployment and bust
ness distress are inevitable in the
shift from military to peacetime
production, he said, but WPB
must not be stampeded by such
dislocations into elaborate con.
trolls or special dispensations."
The danger. confronting us, as
I see it, is that we will overlook the
natural residence of the economy

adapt themselves to changed con-
ditions and hence quickly to utilize
the resources released from NUM-
tons production.
eff we were to attempt in Wash

turer, wholesaler or retailer got
his exact share of relaxed man
power and materials, we would be
lost in a myriad of rules and regu-
lations,

A pent-up demand of staggering

ed, Sin which decreases in war
