Roosevelt urged to aid Britain amid war power debate
The piece notes heavy pressure on President Roosevelt to act now rather than wait in the war, debating moves like seizing Dakar, Cape Verde, and the Azores, while stressing the neutral yet aiding stance from the United States and the need to conserve electrical power for defense. It cites a federal power commission statement urging Southeast conservation as TVA and private firms boost regional power for defense facilities.
