thats actually funny right there. in FACT kaiser did everything possible to support the war effort. developed the welding techniuqes used to build the so called liberty ships, kaiser motors ( incedentally STARTED in 1945) made jeeps etc.war department over-saw production, guaranteed quality control,took steps neccessary to increase production,provided security ,searched out sabotage, and in fact very often sacrificed quality for production quotas. we needed war materials as fast and in as large of quantities as possible. their job was simply to keep production up.seems odd to me that people overlook all the riots ,strikes , work stoppages,and things that went on during the war years that often only were stopped by military intervention.these were not caused by the owners or industrialists,they were making money hand over fist. they were caused and carried out by the workers who were just like today demanding more and more. there was a sense of patriotism no doubt, but by and large the home front was fought for personal gain.america didnt want war,and in fact elected roosevelt on his promise of no war. but when it started it didnt take long to figure out where the money was. and folks who hadnt worked in years flocked to take advantage. my mother, her mother, and most her sisters worked in the aircraft plant here,and lived in the housing set up for workers. her oldest sister worked for the war dept and oversaw female workers at a furniture plant.dont know of any plants that were actually taken over by the gov,no reason too take them over. simple rule of buisness, go where the money is. make more money selling a desk to the gov,than i can joe blow, guess who gets it!
