Scope and Contents

Reports and correspondence that emphasize shifts in the Treasury's efforts from attempting to stimulate a depressed economy to that of raising money to finance U.S. participation in World War II. They especially reflect the government's plan to curb inflation through personal and corporate savings and excess-profits taxes. Eccles argued for these measures to prevent post-war inflation, and his insistence frequently brought him into conflict with the Treasury.
