29. ANS:
Complete answers should include the following points: Government agencies such as the War Industries
Board, the Railroad Administration, and the Fuel Administration controlled wartime production, pricing,
and distribution. The National War Labor Board dealt with disputes between industry management and
labor. Workers who refused to obey board decisions could lose their draft exemptions. The Espionage and
Sedition Acts (1917 and 1918) allowed a citizen to be fined or imprisoned for speaking out against the
government or the war effort. Benefits of these actions include streamlining war production and removing
obstacles to the war effort. Drawbacks include rising costs for consumers as corporations reaped huge
profits, the weakening of labor unions, and the violation of people's right to free speech. Students may
argue that a government needs to have the authority to take extreme actions during wartime in order for
the effort to be successful. Or, they may argue that the government has no right to expand its powers
during wartime, especially when such actions threaten civil liberties.

30. ANS:
Complete answers should include the following points: It is unwise to be too harsh in imposing peace
terms. A humiliated nation becomes angry and determined for revenge. If victors demand the impossible,
they won't get it. If anger and vengeful feelings are allowed to control peace terms, the peace will not be a
lasting one. All people or nations involved in an effort should be represented in the conclusion of that
effort. An ally at one point in history may well not be an ally at a later point.
