Abstract

Roosevelt Stands Firm on Power
Ward, Paul W. | October 10, 1936 issue

add to cart   close window

U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt still holds the fort. In the series of conferences held here in the last few days on the fate of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), he has not yielded an inch to the power boys and in consequence the power issue continues to be the one major issue on which Roosevelt has not trimmed. It is true, of course, that ample time for trimming still remains and that no one can yet be certain that the TVA will not at some future date be sold down the river, but the course of the power parleys this past week offers little ground for such fears.
