Abstract

The Loss of Leon Henderson
Stone, I. F. | December 26, 1942 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that, how well the political leader Leon Henderson served the people of this country will become more apparent as the new U.S. Congress, on a reactionary rampage, forces a general loosening of anti-inflationary regulations. Up to now, thanks to Henderson's integrity and courage, and despite the power exercised by special economic interests in our political life, we have done a better job than any other capitalist country in fighting inflation. The clamor of the press against Henderson is no real index of the public's attitude toward him, but no man can expect to be a price administrator in war time and win popularity contests.
