Reduction In Living Costs Is Promised
Washington reports War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes promised a substantial reduction in the cost of living as part of a home front program tied to major fighting ahead. He said the Allies have the initiative but must act vigorously with great forces and noted progress on stabilizing food prices while President Roosevelt approved longer coal mine shifts. Byrnes warned against overconfidence, stressing the war will be won by those who win the last battle and that substantial price rollbacks may come with subsidies.
