William Allen White argues Henderson’s resignation won’t end control over wartime policy. The piece praises Henderson’s anti inflation measures and warns rationing will persist under any successor. It contends the country benefited from Henderson’s laws, preventing wartime inflation and aiding the war effort.
The editors urge renewing hearth use this winter, praising the cheer and modest heat of fireplaces and stoves over modern tech. They note authentic Franklin stoves mix warmth with ambiance, coal grates reduce refueling and sparks, and wooden bus trailers in Washington carry 141 workers, lighter than a 40 passenger bus.
The speaker defends rationing as a cruel yet necessary wartime tool. He acknowledges flaws in the system and human frailties but argues that, if it achieves its purpose, the benefits outweigh the costs.
