PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
TRIBUTE TO FDR

Editor The Times: Here is an
open letter TO our president: We
thank you for the good you have
done; we pledge our loyalty;
everyone. In the nations capt.
tai you fought your way to give
to the needy, WPA. You loved
the youth of this great land and
gave to them helping hand,
aiding them to earn their way
through school and college with
the NYA. You remembered,
too. the poor mems sons; your
friendly heart found a place for
them in the fields and forest with
CCC.
You stood in line with the
working man and advocated his
inslienable right TO bargain coll
lectively and arbitrste with the
full approval of Uncle Sam. And
now on the horizon, war clouds
loom. You are ready again to
steer the ship. You signed the
draft bill and gave our men the
training they needed to crack
the whip and check the amibi-
tons Of power-mad fool who
would like these United States
TO rule.
All in all we can thank our God
for the courageous leader of our
land who steers the ship through
the rocky coast OF hard knocks
and opposition of a few; 10 give
the lie to Hitler's boast. that he
would destroy democracy. And
when il comes to the final test.
you will find us ready to do our
best. To Adolph Hitler We will
firmly say: you will never get
the deed to the L s. A"
Americans, let this be your
resolve: The swastika shall
never replace the star spangled
banner. The president Of these
United States must always be
the greatest of all men; to Amer

Their experiences abroad led
Messrs. Hopkins and Hartman
TO disparage the administrations
production accomplishments at
White house and OPM confer
ences. Harry returned from
London like ball afire," &C
cording to his friends, because
both OF what he saw and of the
complaints poured into his ears
by British officials.
He demanded a reorganization
even if that meant the practical
shelving OF such well-known fig
ures as William s. Knudsen and
John ID. Biggers. So did Harri-
man, who reacted to the sounds
and scenes abroad in the same
way Hopkins did. Even so, the
president did not order the
shakeup until several months
sfter Harry first suggested it.
The president never does
things by halves. however, and
there has been complete
change in the atmosphere at
Washington since he listened TO
his more realistic advisers. This
is evident in the cessation of re-
assuring statements ON the sue
cess of the arms program. In
the orders for more bombers.
in the grim handling of the
Greer incident.
Roosevelt now believes that
the people and congress are pre-
pared for the inevitable involve
ment toward which his policies
and utterances have pointed
since his quarantine the sg-
gressor speech Of 1897. That
central fact has become clear TO
Washington insiders.

the OPM-ers were at fault. They
admit II. off the record. They
disregarded the advice OF their
own ststisticisns for that of
producers and purchasers of
steel, aluminium, copper, etc,
whose attitude was not always
unselfish. Even the Nelson's and
Bats cautioned against over
expansion in the early days,
fearing postwar problems of
eeononfic dislocstion. At the
same time they counseled against
eurtsilment of civilian produce
ton for fear of immediate repre-
oussions. Now, with a general
recognition of the size of the
future task and the sins of the
past, both groups are making
fresh start.
