The First Mine in a Minefield
As congress looks forward to a summer vacation before
more than casually considering the problem of reconversion
that is upon us thousands of workers can only begin looking
forward to the tragedy of a forced vacation
Willow Run the $95 million factory that produced al-
most 9000 Liberator bombers has shut down That is only
one of many More than 20000 citizens worked there
A survey in die Detroit region reveals that only 41
percent of die men and 3 percent of the women are being
referred to other jobs The ones referred to other jobs will
accept pay cuts averaging 25 percent
A survey by the women's bureau of the department
of labor shows that 80 percent of the women in the same
area want to keep on working after the war and that
three-quarters must work in order to support their fam-
ilies partially or fully
Mr Henry Ford to whom thousands are forced to look
for employment through no desire of their dwn (they would
probably prefer to trust their destiny to a man who hadn’t
been decorated by Hitler) may or may not buy the plant and
operate it He has an option but some say he jtar going to
play cat and mouse with the government untiTIie can get
ihe plant cheaper than the present price ‘
When unemployment hit Willow Run It drained away
more than $1000000 a week in lost payrollst That means
$1000000 worth of unsold goods on storekeepers shelves
thuosands of dollars worth of unsold farm- produce many
unpaid doctors and dentists
Hie- fate of Willow Bun has been described as
“the tremor that precedes an- earthquake? in regard to
the destiny of the American economy

plaulessness in regard to this gigantic problem that! Willow
Run emphasizes
in any -case full employment requires a' perfection
of management that we haveno right in a democracy to
assume Allowance has been made for four million unem-
ployed in 194Q (postwar)” This is die way the '‘enlighten-
ed’ businessmen talk The article appeared in the January
Fortune “Transition to Peace Business in A D 194Q”
‘ Even C E Ayres progressive economist who spoke of full
employment but used the term “a fairly high rate of employment”
It seems that- only- Labor is offering plans fOr re-
conversion and future full employment The pattern
set in reconversion will be vital to the whole future of
the American economy - The downward spiral can
start spinning before Congress gets through vacationing
The crisis of “dislocation” is here Millions of workers
and soldiers will soon lie at loose ends out of a job looking
for a job changing jobs The crisis of purchasing power is
here The demand for over half of the goods being produced
today will be withdrawn suddenly A few weeks ago we
were producing some $200 billion worthof goods a year
The government was buying lialf and “extraordniary” eam-ings-like
overtimeand wartime bonuses-accminted for the
rest
Tin's affects millions of workers but congressmen are
all tired out from passing legislation like the excess profits
tax relief for corporations and they need a rest
