Roosevelt’s Roaring New Deal Gains On Three Fronts
In a month marked by upheaval Roosevelt wins key gains with the NRA farm and gold policy. Johnson’s West trip and industry’s shift towards the blue eagle eased tensions as production fell 25 percent July to November while purchasing power rose 18 percent. Farm voices show cautious optimism as prices edge up toward 1926 goals, and gold-buying policy draws cautious approval from bankers and business groups amid a shifting rock of opinions.
