...work. When it was passed, it was loudly damned as unworkable. Retiring Board Chairman Guy M. Gillette did little to take the curse off, laid down no clear-cut policy to sell the billions to come. To get rid of it, Symington will need to flavor caution (to keep property out of the hands of fly-by-night promoters), with shrewd sales promotion. He will have to find new uses for old products...
...Caution by Commerce. Secretary of Commerce Henry Agard Wallace, who has stood stoutly for 60 million postwar U.S. jobs, last week told the House Committee on Small Business that it would be "unfortunate" if veterans were to attempt to set up more than 500,000 to 700,000 new small businesses.

Said he: "The same precautions should be observed" in making Government-backed loans to servicemen as to civilians...

It was a week in which the Axis armor cracked wide open, and the Allied ax bit deep into muscle and bone...

The U.S. was through with such bumptious assumptions as it had made after General Patton's dash past Paris last summer. "A Feeling of Coming Victory," said the Chicago Sun's streamer. But this time it was not entirely the caution of earlier disappointment that kept down the premature cheering. It was also a more intimate realization of what the end of the war in Europe would mean...
