At the same time, of course, forces are keeping up their pressure both through lobbyists of the interested groups, end through the paid advertising of the National Manufacturers' association, and other Industrial organizations. But as far as any one can gauge, the people themselves stiU want price control. Nevertheless, congress has managed to whittle It down, and many observers, at this writing, consider it as among the dead already. That Is one mystery. Another was provided In the recent move on the part of the President, with hL. emergency strike bill, and on the part of congress, with the reinforced Case bill. Up until the unions threatened to tie up the railroads and ignored government orders, there was no chance to get any labor-contrmeasure through congress. But the people wanted something, and when the President offered it, he received response in the way of letters and telegrams such as the White House has not known In the memory of its present staff, some of whom have served there since the days of Wood-roomit-leami- ol anti-contr- ol P4m s paradoxei.

These figures on which it is based are compiled by the department of commerce, and the most banker you know won't doubt them. They show, as you see, that in 1939, the publics spendable income was 68 billion dollars. The estimate for 1946 is 139 billion. Now your common sense will tell you that the people who ate meat every day didnt get aU of that 71 billion dollar Increase in their spending money. The groups got a large part of it In other words, America (as a whole) is eating more meat (and other things) than it ever did before, and because so many MORE people are eating so much MORE meat, there isn't as much left for the people who ate aU they wanted before. The discussion of how much America is eating arose in connection with the question as to our ability to help feed starving Europe and Asia. Some people believed that because they couldnt buy as many things at the store as they were accustomed to buying, America didnt have enough to spare. But the people (you and I) who cant get all of what we want are in no danger of starving. We can get things we may not like, but which will be just as good for us. And also, we can be assured that the people, who, in Americas past, have been near the danger lines are getting a lot more than they ever had before. And they werent starving then, either. So dont think that we haven't enough to spare for the invisible Now I know that some of my readers, like many of my listeners, will see nothing strange in this apparent Indifference to the popular will on the part of congress. A lot of letters I receive indicate that a great many people think congress pays no attention to the voter. This is laughably inaccurate. The voice of the voter is the one thing a congressman obeys. In spite of this fact, 51 per cent of the people, if our old friend, NORC, is right, as it has proved to be on many occasions, believe that congress depends more on its own judgment than on public opinion. Of course, the reason for this impression is that the organized voters, the ones which some organization controls, form the congressmans judgment because they are the most vocal. They make themselves heard in person, through their membership, and the people whom they influence. In the two recent questions I have mentioned: labor control and price control, you have two powerful lobbies at work the unions and the industrial organizations, but pulling in opposite directions. I am not saying that either is right or wrong in the views they express and the causes they advocate. I am saying that they are active and powerful And also that they naturally promulgate ideas in their own interest If these interests happen to be the publics, as well flue. If not . . . Most of the congressional secretaries I know well enough to talk with frankly support this view. Except of course, when some strange political deal is involved, whereby the congressman feels it safer to guest low-inco- larity.
