Truman backs price investigation and world peace outlook
President Truman voiced full support for the Justice Department probe into the high cost of food clothing and housing saying it should reveal who bears responsibility for high prices. He cautioned the main effect may be to identify those responsible rather than halt the price surge. He noted corn exports face Cabinet deliberation amid a world food committee review. He remains hopeful for a peaceful world and defended the decision to drop the Hiroshima bomb as necessary, believing it saved lives, while acknowledging the peace process has not yet yielded settlement. He avoided committing to a 1948 Democratic convention site or a new party chairman, praised Agriculture Secretary Anderson, and said labor department changes are under consideration. He reiterated support for the St Lawrence waterway and forecast budget revisions within two weeks.
