Roosevelt Urges Boost in Food Subsidy Program
President Roosevelt delivered a long message urging Congress to continue and increase the administration's 800 million dollar food price subsidy program. He warned inflation risks and argued that abandoning the policy would raise living costs and wages, and emphasized the need to keep enough food and fair prices as 1944 production targets loom. He did not specify new funding but said costs would exceed this year’s 800 million to spur higher farm output while keeping consumer prices down.
