Problems of Reconstruction 



BY ISAAC LIPPINCOTT 



Associate Professor of Economics, Washington University 



Cloth, I2mo, $1.60 



" From an industrial point of view the nations at war are con- 

 fronted with two groups of problems. Stated briefly, the first group 

 contains questions of concentrating industrial effort largely on war 

 production, of diverting men, materials and financial resources to the 

 essential industries and of curtailing the operations of all the rest, of 

 regulating commerce with foreign countries, and of formulating 

 policies and methods for the accomplishment of these ends. In 

 short, this is principally a question of development of war control 

 with all that this implies. The second group of problems arises out 

 of the first. It involves such questions as the dissolution of the war 

 organization, the removal of the machinery of control, the restoration 

 of men, funds, and materials to the industries which serve the uses 

 of peace, and the reestablishment of normal commercial relations 

 with the outside world. The latter are post-war problems. Their 

 prompt solution is necessary because the war has turned industrial 

 and social life into new channels, and because it will be necessary 

 for us to restore the normal order as quickly as possible. These 

 brief statements outline the task of this volume."
