[edit] Re: Fiscal conservative
"...at all times tried to inject...responsibility"... "He deeply believed"... "he managed to reverse the proposals"... "It was Morgenthau"...
Is this sourced from one or more of the available (cited) references, or simply subjective POV? --Sasoriza 07:28, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Didn't the Morganthau Plan involve more imaginative aspects than some land and economic issues.
[edit] POV & speculation
- What was the main cause for the creation of the WRB - the actions of Treasury, or the resolution in Congress? Those who claim that the congressional resolution was the decisive factor assert that Roosevelt feared a confrontation with Congress over this issue. However, there is no evidence that such was Roosevelt's reasoning. On the contrary, Congress in those years clearly was both anti-refugee and passive to the plight of European Jewry. Roosevelt's primary motivation must have come from the Treasury Department's prompting.
This should be reworded with speculation removed. Plus, POV refs.:
- moved slowly to meet this unique tragedy
- failed at times to measure up
- lateness of the hour, ruthless determination
Copied from Hurwitz? Either way, should be reworded. --Sasoriza 23:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
