POST-WAR PLANS
U.S. Education For Foreign Technical Students
Information received by the Ministry of Supply makes it clear that plans for the production of non-essential civilian goods in the United States were premature. The vice-chairman of the United States War Production Board has stated that it is not the time for either industrialists or the public “to take their eye off the ball.” Return to non-essential civilian production had better lie on the table for a while. There was not enough strategic materials available for both war production and civil needs. The Ministry of Supply is informed, however, that plans for providing facilities at the American engineering colleges for 3000 to 4000 technical graduates from Europe and Asia for 18 months after the war have been announced by the Foreign Economic Administration. These students are to be selected by foreign Governments in collaboration with American agencies. The same programme envisages the training of between 5000 and 10,000 American students to assist in the reconstruction of devastated areas.
