GOP 1940 Program Endorses Limited Regulation and Budget Cuts
The Republican committee outlines a plan favoring acreage control with subsidies for soil conservation, continued crop loans, and deferral of major reclamation projects. It calls for limited government intervention to support a free enterprise economy, endorses the right to organize, urges amendments to labor laws, and proposes a 20 percent spending cut with a balanced budget in 1942 without tax increases unless exemptions are trimmed.
