Roosevelt Relief Fight Shows House Short on Courage
Roosevelt does not require a billion and a half in new relief money. The House seems to dodge the issue by pushing for a provision to set aside half a billion for permanent public works under Ickes. The dispute pits Roosevelt against Hopkins and reflects broader anger at pork barrel tactics in Congress. Treasury borrowing rises as Morganthau must issue eight hundred million dollars in new bonds, pushing the national debt toward thirty six billion. The article ties gold policy to deficits, noting twelve billion in U.S. gold and mounting imports amid world currency tensions.
