He criticized New Deal waste and urged personal exemptions reform to relieve low earners. Meanwhile Allied bombers continued strikes on German transport, with the Ruhr isolated by water routes after major railway and canal damage.

Federal Help Still First in FD's Planning
President Roosevelt signed two bills to aid postwar reconversion. He urged fair treatment for laid off war workers alongside farmers and veterans. He approved the Demobilization Act creating a War Mobilization office, while deeming the Surplus War Property Bill unworkable. He cited needs including back home travel pay, nationwide unemployment standards, and pay for federal workers. The measure relies on states funding with federal guarantees when state funds run short.
