”A11 of us face terminations and cutbacks”, Mr. Cosgrove said, "The Signal Corps is taking the lead in helping us. The radio industry has no reason to be worried about what it has accom¬ plished in aiding the war effort because it has done an outstanding Job, ” He added that the series of Contract Termination Conferences would aid the industry, in like manner, in meeting the problems of contract cancellations.
Responding to Mr. Cosgrove, Brig, Gen, A, A, Farmer, Commanding Officer of the Philadelphia Signal Depot, said the con¬ ference showed that ’’contractors and the U, S, Government are working together as a team and will continue to do so until final and lasting victory is ours, ”
’’Reports from the battle f2?onts are favorable, but we must not think that the war is over”, he continued, ’’Production of equip¬ ment must go forward, but it is essential that we give thought to the problems of contract terminations, ”
”The Signal Corps”, he added, ’’wants contract termination settlements to be accomplished with fairness, fidelity, and speed” so that the ’’superb Job of production” will not be followed by "gig¬ antic problems of an economic eruption. ”
”We*ll defeat the problems of termination”, he concluded, ”as our forces in the field continue to annihilate the enemy, ”
The New York conference was the third of the series relat¬ ing to contract termination, the first of which was held in Baltimore on July 5th, and the last of which will be in Los Angeles August 2nd.
