Roosevelt Rejects Food Czar Plan and Inflation Path
President Roosevelt spoke at a press conference about a proposed food czar and warned that Congress could pursue inflation if it chose, but responsibility would rest 100 percent on lawmakers. He argued against giving complete authority over the food program, calling it a red herring, and urged keeping prices down while avoiding an inflationary spiral. He noted that expanding production in 1944 wouldn’t solve shortages for 1843 or early 1944 and criticized letting prices rise to use up surplus buying power.
