Henderson Warns of Inflationary Pressure and 1943 Outlook
Price Administrator Leon Henderson testi fies to Congress predicting national income near 117 billion dollars this year with only 69 billion in consumer goods available, creating a 17 billion excess that must be checked to avoid an inflationary spiral. He urges stringent controls, warns of rationing and black markets, and notes England’s food bootlegging prompts harsh public sentiment. Harold Ickes earns praise for securing big business cooperation, including railroads and oil interests, to shift freight from short hauls to trucks, freeing tank cars for long hauls and easing East Coast shortages.
