President Roosevelt to outline drought and farm relief plan
Washington dispatch reports the president will present a future drought and farm relief policy within days. AAA officials tour the nation defending crop reductions to curb overproduction and restore farm purchasing power, while a wartime anti profiteering push targets food price rises and exposes wildcat speculators. Rain improves drought areas but will not halt the massive stock movements as 10,000 cattle are moved toward southern pastures and eastern pens. Officials prepare a comprehensive drought report and an inventory of food and feed supplies to assess current readiness and avert shortages. Dr. Fred C. Rowe says 140 local consumers groups join the anti profiteering effort, with plans avoiding strong licensing power for processors at this time.
