Washington There Is a great mall mystery In which public reaction Washington sleuths art trying to solve Recent reactions of precongress sents a paradox In fact a pair of paradoxes one Gradually one like a plucking daisy petals to learn her fate and fortune congress has been by maiden the office of stripping poor deep at the size to hold adminisuntil said of its powers has little more control over prices than man over a skidding car on an icy pavement And yet according to recent polls 82 per cent of the pubUc is in favor of "holding the line” The March survey by that reliable poller NORC (National Opinion Research Center of Denver university) among other similar groups points this out When the house virtually stripped OP A of its powers late in April letters poured In supporting the agency since then its bead Paul Porter using the publicity machine built up by his predecessor Stabilization Director Bowles has omitted no word or act to keep his side of the arguments against Albefore the consumer though congress is not now being needled as heavily as it was at the peak of the house debate plenty of people are still asking for OPA continuation At the same time of course anticontrol forces are keeping up their pressure both through lobbyists of the interested groups and through the paid advertising of the National Manufacturers’ association and other industrial organizations But as far as any one can gauge the people themselves still want price control Nevertheless conto whittle it gress has managed down and many observers at this consider it as among the writing dead already That is one mystery Another was provided in the recent move on the part of the President with his emergency strike bill and on the part of congress with the reinforced Case bill to Up until the unions threatened tie up the railroads and ignored government orders there was no chance to get any measure through congress But the people wanted something and when the President offered it he received a 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 Wilson 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 congressman’s judgment because they are the most vooal They make themselves heard In person through their membership and the people whom they influence In the two recent questions 1 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 public’s as well fine If not Most of the congressional secretaries 1 know well enough to talk with frankly support

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 didn’t get all of that 71 billion dollar Increase in their The spending money 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 all 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 couldn’t buy as many things at the store as they were accustomed to buying America didn’t' have enough to ‘spare But’ the people (you and I) who can’t 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 America’s past have
