Jeffers is not a bureaucrat he is a plain American business man who is used to getting results. He says: "We don't want the government in business. We want business in government." And that is the only spirit that will get this nation tires or any other commodity that he people have always enjoyed and which buil up the American standard of living. are easy to understand and can be controlled, which is good.

Only Congress can make certain that the first necessary steps are taken to give America victory in peace as in war. Will American workers be jobless when peace comes? Must American farmers expect their selling to cease when firing ceases? Neither is necessary. I think Congress ought to take action now, before a crisis arises, so that an unmistakable policy may exist to be enforced. . . .

It is evident from the answers that the American people do not want the national government meddling in the vital field of medical service, and that they believe in our effective system of personalized medical care.
