Roosevelt Warns of Critical Far Eastern Situation Amid War Prep
In a private report to Congress on a wartime conference with Churchill the President warned the Far East situation is extremely critical. He said a secret alliance was discussed, pledged no immediate U.S. entry into war, but indicated that further Japanese encroachments would meet strong measures. He noted Nazi pressure to push Japan into action and that four powers may act instantly. Roosevelt added Soviet resistance would persist and Nazi blitzkrieg was turning to attrition, easing invasion risk for Britain though not removing danger. The French fleet could join a Mediterranean clash against Britain as Mussolini’s navy remains damaged.

Wheat surplus headache hits Wickard as farmers balk
Washington August 26 With the United States facing its largest wheat surplus the Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard and aides confront farmer cooperation failures. About 15 percent planted over allotments while 80 percent supported marketing quotas in a May 31 vote. The revised act guarantees a 98 cent loan price and 18 cent per bushel benefit to compliant farmers, with penalties of 40 cents per surplus and loss of benefits on the entire crop for those who do not. A sample case shows a cooperating farmer with 100 acre allotment and equal yield would gain from loans and benefits, while overplanting risks penalties.
