Compensation For Terminated Fixed-Price Supply War Contracts, Edward S. Feldman
Compensation For Terminated Fixed-Price Supply War Contracts, Edward S. Feldman
Michigan Law Review
The enormous volume of government contract cancellations requires a fuller understanding by contractors of the principles of securing fair compensation promptly for their charges if they are to have funds to reconvert their plants and operate them successfully. As the Director of Contract Settlement stated in a recent report to Congress, "The contracting agencies alone cannot do the contract settlement job. Contractors, too, must be willing and able to do their part. To be adequately prepared, contractors must be able (1) to make out claims and (2) to process claims of their subcontractors and suppliers."
Aspects Of Wage Stabilization By The National War Labor Board, David Haber
Aspects Of Wage Stabilization By The National War Labor Board, David Haber
Michigan Law Review
Most economists assume that behind an unrestricted war economy lurk the dangers of inflation. Although national income increases, so much of the country's productive effort is devoted to the manufacture of war goods that the number of articles available for civilian consumption necessarily diminishes. This gap between the available supply and the existing purchasing power has the effect of raising prices. Rising wages aggravate this situation because they increase production costs which are then passed on to the consumer in the form of higher prices, and because, by further increasing the purchasing power of the population, they increase the gap …
Legal Liability For War Damage, John Hanna
Legal Liability For War Damage, John Hanna
Michigan Law Review
This article considers some of the rules for determining liability for economic loss in respect of war claims, especially as applied in connection with claims of life insurance companies for loss of premiums, of insurers of property for war risk insurance premiums, of property insurers for sums paid to foreign policyholders on war losses, and of owners seeking to recover for loss of expected profits. The rules discussed are broadly applicable to international claims in general.
Maximum Prices With Respect To Agricultural Commodities, Robert H. Shields
Maximum Prices With Respect To Agricultural Commodities, Robert H. Shields
Michigan Law Review
As we all know, prices of agricultural commodities during this war have been directly and substantially affected by Government controls and will probably continue to be so affected in the immediate future. These controls take two forms: First, there are those relating to price floors, that is, minimum support prices with respect to agricultural commodities; and, second, there are those relating to price ceilings, that is, maximum prices with respect to agricultural commodities.
Law And Administration In Military Occupation: A Review Of Two Recent Books, Wolfgang H. Kraus
Law And Administration In Military Occupation: A Review Of Two Recent Books, Wolfgang H. Kraus
Michigan Law Review
Unlike the First World War, the Second World War has already produced at this stage of its progress significant publications concerning the problems of military government which may well assist interested students and practitioners in cutting a path through this thorny field. Occupying the area of enemy countries is a task of which by all odds the most difficult part, that of the occupation of both Germany and Japan, still lies ahead. Two recently published studies, both of them by jurists with a European legal background who are at present engaged in the service of a war agency of the …
