Explanation:

After World War II, Truman implemented several measures to stabilize the U.S. economy:

1. He threatened to draft striking workers into the military and order them back to work to avoid labor disruptions that would harm economic output.
2. He committed to minimizing unemployment, as high post-war joblessness was a major risk to economic stability.
3. He re-instated price controls to curb inflation, which spiked due to post-war demand and supply shifts.
4. He kept the War Production Board open temporarily to manage the transition from wartime to peacetime production, preventing chaos in consumer goods manufacturing.

Increasing tariffs and ordering more money printed were not part of his post-WWII economic stabilization efforts.

Answer:

• threaten to draft striking workers into the military and order them back to work
• commit to minimizing unemployment
• re-instate price controls to control inflation
• keep the War Production Board open to let government continue to control production of consumer goods
