Fixing Wheat Prices and Wartime Authority Debates

A historical commentary argues for a strict separation of wartime administrative powers from legislative actions on wheat pricing. It critiques Senate attempts to set a price of 2.80 per bushel via the agricultural appropriation bill, warning such moves blur lines between branches and threaten unity in war governance. The piece stresses that expert input and clear authority should govern price fixing, not ad hoc congressional edits.
