President overrules military counsel in French plane deal
Boake Carter's critique spotlights presidential power in foreign affairs. The Senate Military Committee transcript shows officials pressed to allow foreign inspection of Army Air Corps equipment, but the President allegedly overrode standard rules and urged silence. Details allege secret French mission approval bypassed War and State, with Morgenthau and Bullitt backing Roosevelt. The piece argues this showcases unchecked executive dominance amid looming political campaigns.
