The Congress declares that the objectives of this chapter are -
(a) to facilitate maximum war production during the war, and to

and large, speedy and equitable final settlement of claims under
terminated war contracts, and adequate interim financing until
such final settlement;
(c) to assure uniformity among Government agencies in basic
policies and administration with respect to such termination
settlements and interim financing;
(d) to facilitate the efficient use of materials, manpower, and
facilities for war and civilian purposes by providing prime
contractors and subcontractors with notice of termination of
their war contracts as far in advance of the cessation of work
thereunder as is feasible and consistent with the national
security;
(e) to assure the expeditious removal from the plants of prime
contractors and subcontractors of termination inventory not to be
retained or sold by the contractor;
(f) to use all practicable methods compatible with the
foregoing objectives to prevent improper payments and to detect
and prosecute fraud.
