| Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt watching a strong man, labeled "Nelson," bending an iron bar, labeled "Priorities Control." In early 1942, Roosevelt created a War Production Board to manage economic mobilization, but Donald M. Nelson, its genial head, lacked the force and decisiveness to control competing interests. On August 19, however, returning from vacation, Nelson told reporters, "I'm going to get tough enough to get this job done," and a few days later he announced that the WPB would replace Army and Navy priorities specialists with its own officials. Despite this action, Nelson never sì³®ded in establishing the controls that many though necessary. |
