J. Thomas and the United | Automobile Workers International Executive Board The program is notable for its zeal to have the | government take over the war-built automobile and |afreraft industrial plants, the assumption evidently | being that if the government manages the plants, the | wartime outpouring of milk and honey will continue lad infinitum. Perhaps Mr. Thomas realizes that the Federal taxpayers are paying through the nose for the lcost of these tremendous plants, and to meet the | inflated costs of production in them, and cannot be lexpected to bear a r burden of taxes indefinitely in peacetime—but his program does not indicate any such realization. Recalling that the government has spent $4,000,000,000 on the plants, he says “if industry | fails to use these plants for full production, their gov- ernment itself must act to use this public property for the public good. | We think it is a fair supposition that industry will use as many of the war-built plants as it can on |a profitable basis.
