Economic Warfare Declared by FDR Against Axis

The move aims to curb profits from German owned patents and Swiss intermediaries, cutting off an estimated 15 million dollars in royalties and tightening control of war-related production. Federal officials say the step marks the U.S. entering an economic war with the Axis.
