History of the Week’s War and Politics Reflections
The week features debate on neutrality policy, a vast peacetime War Department budget, and a plan to expand the army air force to 4000 planes. The Senate considers farm and AAA issues, while the Court faces Tennessee Valley Authority challenges and a Louisiana press freedom ruling. Internationally, Britain and Russia maneuver, Italy’s Ethiopia war drains resources, and France seeks alliances to curb Germany, with Britain balancing France and Japan while Mussolini’s position weakens ahead of rains.
