United States Tightens Imports Amid War Time Controls
The United States adopts a lean import diet with about 8000 commodities restricted under War Trade Board lists aided by the Shipping Board.

Leaders emphasize the plan is not a full embargo nor self sufficiency, with further restrictions expected and varying business responses.
