Long War Ahead Warns Governor Brumbaugh After Meeting
Governor Brumbaugh said the federal government plans a long war but agricultural preparedness will be a government priority. He cited Hoover’s brief briefing on food conservation and stressed Pennsylvania will back the national effort, with registrations on June 5 and wider support to follow. The State Commission refused extra funds for registration and recruitment but left open future talks and possible allocations, including a request for Liberty Loan advertising. The governor urged cooperation without duplicating effort and noted food supply is a major concern while awaiting national direction.
