In the book "Sears, Roebuck, USA" (1977) by Gordon Weil it says that "President Franklin Roosevelt once suggested that the best way to deal with anti-American propaganda from the Soviet Union would be to fly planes over Russia and drop sears catalogs.” However Weil doesn't provide a source for this and online I found a few different versions of the story. Did Roosevelt actually say this?
I don't know, but it seems unlikely as FDR died prior to Soviet-American relations souring too much. We were allies (although not necessarily friends, by any means) and a global war was not a good time to be discussing ways to harm ally's goals publically.
I wouldn't think Roosevelt would say that. The Soviet Union was our ally during much of World War II, and even more to the point, Roosevelt trusted Stalin. At the Yalta Conference, for example, he took Stalin's promise of free elections in Eastern Europe at face value without even asking for any guarantees. I could definitely see this being said by some later President, or by one of Roosevelt's advisers (some of whom were more anti-Soviet), but not by Roosevelt himself.
Ironically, so many American goods were shipped to Russia under Lend-Lease that you could almost say they got a whole catalog's worth. It didn't do much good, though; many of the labels were stripped off before they were distributed.
