Roosevelt urges price controls and economic defense board
President Roosevelt sent a special message to Congress calling for authority to set ceilings on prices and rents, to purchase commodities to ensure price stability, and to curb installment credit. He notes inflation mirrors wartime patterns and outlines steps including a new Economic Defense Board, currency and credit measures, and broadened wartime coordination across defense agencies. The report covers foreign aid, tax notes, military maneuvers, oil station curtailment plans, and labor shifts, highlighting a broad defense economy push.
