Taft Supports Sen Douglas Bond Policy
Senator Taft of Ohio joined Senator Douglas of Illinois in urging the Federal Reserve Board to resist White House pressure on bond buying. Douglas accused President Truman and Treasury Secretary Snyder of forcing the board to fuel inflation by keeping bond purchases at par and maintaining low interest rates, a policy that he says raises bank reserves and prices.
