PTS: 4 REF: TheAmericans-2005-TestGen-1-2047 TOP: Test: Form A NOT: amerrecon_2006 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. PTS: 10 REF: TheAmericans-2005-TestGen-1-2097 TOP: Test: Form C NOT: amerrecon_2006 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.
