A WEEK OF WAR
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill created three
Anglo-American boards to pool
American and British munitions,
shipping and raw mateitals. The
boards will confer with represent
atives of the Soviet Union, China
and others of the 26 United Na
tions as necessary “to attain com
mon purposes.” U. S. representa
tives are: Harry Hopkins, Muni
tions Board: Rear Admiral Emory
S. Land, Shipping Board; and
William L. Batt, Ray Materials
Board.
The President told his press
conference great progress has been
made in unification of American
Army and Navy commands. He
said such unification has been go
ing on for the past two months
and does not result from the Pearl
Harbor inquiry board report. Mr.
Roosevelt said he is still studying
this report, which placed the
blame for lack of American alert
ness at Hawaii on Admiral Hus
band E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen.
Walter C. Short, but Presidential
Secretary Early indicated further
action in regard to the command
ers will rest with Navy Secretary
Knox and War Secretary Stimson.
Price Control Legislation Signed
President Roosevelt signed the
Price Control Bill which provides
for a license system to enforce
price regulations, calls for a
single administrator and contains
provisions to permit farm prices
to rise as high as 110 percent of
party. The President said, how
ever, he may ask Congress to cor
rect certain gaps in the bill, par
ticularly the agriculture provis
ions. He said the prohibition
agains't farm price ceiling at less
than 110 percent of party is a di
rect threat to the cost of living,
although the licensing, rent control
and other provisions are useful
weapons against inflation. The
Department of Agriculture report
ed the average of farm product
prices on January 15 was 102 per
cent of parity.
The War Front
The Army reported the Japan
ese were making heavy reinforce
ments in the Philippines prepara
