Notes: Roosevelt's seven-point program to keep the cost of living from spiraling upward, was presented in April 27, 1942:

1. Tax heavily, and in that process keep personal and corporate profits at a reasonable rate, the word "reasonable" being defined at a low level -- 2. Fix ceilings on the prices which consumers, retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers pay for the things they buy; and ceilings on rents for dwellings in all areas affected by war industries -- 3. Stabilize the remuneration received by individuals for their work -- 4. Stabilize the prices received by growers for the products of their lands -- 5. Encourage all citizens to contribute to the cost of winning this war by purchasing War Bonds with their earnings instead of using those earnings to buy articles which are not essential -- 6. Ration all essential commodities of which there is a scarcity, so that they may be distributed fairly among consumers and not merely in accordance with financial ability to pay high prices for them -- 7. Discourage credit and installment buying, and encourage the paying off of debts, mortgages, and other obligations; for this promotes savings, retards excessive buying and adds to the amount available to the creditors for the purchase of War Bonds.
