Surplus Supplies (New York Times) The size of the surplus stocks anticipated by some persons upon the demobilization of our war economy has made the problem of their disposal seem almost linsoluble. In an information study prepared for the Committee for Economic Development, Dr. A. D. H Kaplan has analyzed the components of the antici- pated surplus supplies, as well as Government-owned its and equipment. Surplus suppliés, according to these estimates, will be a maximum of $60,000,000,000 at original cost. Three-fourths of this amount is expected to consist of ordnance material, including shipping and aircraft. The remaining $15,000,000,000 will consist of food,; clothing, raw materials, tools, hardware, motor vehicles \and other items usable in the civilian economy. Ho |ever, a major part of these “civilian” supplies is | expected to be held abroad and to be used to meet demands for relief and rehabilitation. It is estimated that only about $6,000,000,000 worth of supplies will be available for domestic disposal. These figures shed new light on the problem of\ | surplus supplies. Certainly, it is a vastly different matter to be faced with a post-war stockpile of $6,- 000,000,000 of goods and materials rather than the! | $75,000,000,000 total which has been frequently men- | tioned without qualification as to its composition. Instead of a stockpile valued at higher than the pre- - % o | war national income, the problem will be to absorb R e R Ol e il goods valued at less than 10 per cent of that level of Lawrence Sullivan paints a dismal picture of our | income.
