Baruch Proposes War Profit Cap Plan to Penalize Buyers and Sellers
Bernard Baruch, NY financier and World War Industries board chair, stated before a Senate committee that wartime price control should impose penalties on both buyers and sellers. He illustrated with bootleg liquor, arguing penalties would deter illicit purchases and that government orders drive value. He refuted claims of personal gain and noted parallels to shipbuilding stock dealings and government contracts under Roosevelt.
