President Roosevelt Urges Federal Oversight of Interst ate Commerce
The President calls for national control of interstate business to curb overcapitalization and stock speculation. He favors a national incorporation or licensing act for railroads, stronger antitrust supervision, and public accounts with a robust regulatory framework alongside state commissions. He also seeks currency elasticity, postal banks, and extended naval and army funding.
