Abbott of the Harvard Business School, "Financial entitled An estimated used was of Industry After Two The summary follows: Years of War." ital Situation fifty-six billion dollars of working cap¬ 1943 to finance the production of in¬ in private funds has been spent or obligated for in the ex¬ pansion of the physical facilities of industry to meet the demands placed upon it by the war. A considerable portion of the working capital fur¬ .,, by the government to finance output does not the balance sheets of the individual business appear on concerns, Professor Abbott pointed out, notably govern-; inventory under cost-plus-fixed-fee con¬ ment-owned government-furnished tracts, materials and supplies, working capital, and government-owned plants operated by private companies. Although funds furnished other to the companies by the government in such forms as ad¬ payments do appear on the statements of business concerns and are substantial, sums furnished in these and vance other sheets ways are that do not appear on companies' balance very large. cash balances of business concerns have greatly increased since 1939, the report stated, "the sig¬ nificant elements in the working capital position of manufacturing industry are not the absolute, or the rela¬ tive, increases in cash and current assets since 1939. The significant aspects are, first, a comparison' of these cur¬ rent assets with the existing current liabilities of com¬ panies, and secondly, ah anlysis of the adequacy of these current assets to maintain present levels of production war and in the post-war period," Since 18,817,643 1,042,098,401 79,901,271 2,618,804,746 246,315,690 81,616,848 2,762,577,838 the working 161,158,178 72,759,242 2,116,666,420 is poorer than 78,560,510 19,087,784 2,140,432,189 468,395,208 292,013,451 2,433,692,159 270,840,364 282,063,717 4,578,945,681 123,650,746 27,180,244 2,267,428,765 3,198,450 31,402,899 489,894,449 15,222,555 137,383,069 379,850,324 capital financing industrial production of mid-1943 came 619,860,300 10,920,875 13,114,170 643,895,345 from 455,293,100 ■* current in_plant and equipment during /the found that perhaps the greatest source of is "the fact that the country has acquired during the war a financial struc¬ strength in the existing situation body of arrangements and techniques, which has high levels of produc¬ employment.

"The majority of industries and the great bulk of indi¬ vidual companies should be able, so far as can now be seen, to return to civilian production, at least in a phy¬ sical sense, with considerable speed and facility. "The reduction in government spending at the end of the war will, it seems certain, be offset to a considerable extent by the deferred demand piled up during the war. some It is estimatted that this demand will amount to five billion dollars by mid-1944 and may be twentyhigher. The present volume of saving, currently estimated at the record-breaking, rate of forty billion dollars per year, indicates that this deferred demand will be implemented adequate purchasing power. by duction in And the wartime re¬ and personal debt will further aug¬ willingness and the ability of the public consumer ment both the to spend."

In addition, since 1939 an estimated twenty-two billion dollars of public and nished of maintenance, replacements, and betterments at the end of the war will be very substantial.
