It doesn't represent Harry Truman's ideas at all, but he has to go through with it." As we look back, it is plain enough that whether it was New Deal or what it was, the program of tlie President was one that the people rejected on election day. the moral obligations of tlie past, the effect of the pressure groups, the ukase of the party of bigwigs were swept away and Harry Truman, who didn't want the job that was thrust upon him when death was made a free man. The satisfaction President's springs not from any spirit of "I told you so" hurled at his alleged supporters, not from any lack of loyalty to a cause well lost, it was simply the weary but happy flood of relief of a man who, having attempt, ed what he knew was an impossible task, saw that task ended, and friend and foe forced fairly into tlie open.
