Congress May Grant President Credit Control Powers
James Marlow surveys proposed executive powers to regulate credit and real estate, arguing such moves would curb inflation by limiting consumer buying. He notes wartime Regulation W, its sunsetting in 1948, and how renewed controls plus potential tax increases and price rationing could dampen civilian spending while financing defense. A tax lien notice against Charles H Clarke appears, and a historical note mentions Shinkolobwe uranium deposits discovered in the Belgian Congo.
