Importing Cotton Moves Ahead Under Good Neighbor Policy
The United States plans to buy surplus cotton from Peru and Brazil using Commodity Credit Corporation funds totaling 4 billion dollars. Oscar Johnson will oversee purchases, with backing from southern congressmen, aiming to import long staple cotton while avoiding direct competition with domestic supply. Plans also consider beef and vegetable oils from Latin America. Argentina gets no help while Castillo stays neutral. President Roosevelt may tour the country and view army camps and war-production centers. Harry Hopkins reports optimism on the war, citing Russian resistance and U.S. strength, while Mussolini grows isolated and Nostalgia surfaces among exiled socialists. Washington lobbyists for utility interests quietly resume pressure to aid war effort.
