Dictator concept urged for major crops by industry leader
An industrialist urges President Roosevelt to appoint a dictator for each key crop like oats and cotton, arguing these rulers should report to or form a federal farm board. He proposes regulated raw materials through trade associations and federal supervision of steel and oil, with only steel and iron immediately included. The piece emphasizes wartime resolve, national sacrifice, and the need for broad civic action amid deflation and unemployment.
