"I believe tliat for the long run. the question is not whether tlie farm credit and tlie farm serurity programs should be set up within an independent agency of the federal government. To me. the question rather seems to be whether it is more appropriate for these agencies to be in the department of agriculture. or in other exeeutixe department of government.

Dissolution of the Office of War Information may supply an insight into what happens when bureaus which came into existence since Pearl Harbor cease to exist. Except for changes in the top positions and discarding of the domestic branch, which always was a minor part nf the operation, OWI seems to be s very live corpse.

Except for a few generalized thrusts, the White House has shown no disposition to come to grips witn the wage-pric- e dilemma, hasnt attempted to develop a comprehensive program to eliminate the element of chanre. and, tn the opinion of critical congressmen, is simply trusting that things somehow will work out all right in the end if left to their own devices There is a striking example of the haphazard system which has been followed, and that is the retention of OPA while permitting the National War Labor board to go virtually out of existence. WLB exercised fair degree nf control over wage and salary levels, and with wages the largest single item of production costs, there is today tio agency effectively operating in that field. Both management and labor the President's radioed agree speech on the subject clarified almost nothing. The result has been to cut the ground from beneath OPA in its efforts to maintain price ceilings. Another example Is the Wat Production board, which was permitted to go out of existence on November 3. Odds and endi fell to the newly created Civilian Production administration, but there is today no raw materials allocation plan and efforts are being made to create out of export licensing a means by which domestic industry might have iti needs fulfilled. The theory is that refusal of export licenses for needed civilian materials will hack those commodities onto the market here.
