Three men dubbed the big three will wield vast power over wartime food, purchases, and shipping. Herbert C Noover will control food supply, Herward M Baruch will head procurement for allies and the U S, and William Denman or Goethals will direct shipbuilding and transport. The British government may recognize Baruch as chief purchasing agent. A aviation department bill signals broader power centralization for war efficiency.
