favored groups.
The public anger over the CIV
ing of x gasoline cards to con-
gressmen was an example of this.
! A more recent example was the
immediate public anger stirred up
by new news of strikes in essen
tial war production industries.
Just when the people were search
ing their homes for steel scrap
needed by the government, news
came out of a strike in the Lux
ems Steel company plant in
Coatesville, Pa, which meant
THOUSANDS of tons of steel were
lost to war needs. The public
reaction was that if it was going
to 60 on collecting little pieces of
steel because it was so greatly
needed, the government should
take drastic steps to prevent ma
jor losses of this kind.
The mail received by congress
men shows the immediate public
resentment against injustices of
this kind and indicates that the
people are relating all of the news
they hear to its effect on the pro-
gress of the war program.
Officials are plainly disturbed
over the anti-British feeling OF
many Americans which flares up
following any bad news from the
war fronts. The strongest pro-
British feeling followed the mass
raids on Cologne, Emden, eac., but
sentiment was quickly reversed
when Tobruk was captured by the
Germans.
One thing which surprises con-
gressmen is the apparent lack of
interest in how the government
spends money. The people will
object strongly to stories of prof
iteering, but there is little criti-
cism of record appropriations and
expenditures, so long as they have
a needed for war" tag on them.
Many suggestions are received
on the subject of taxation, but
most are based on ways of in
creasing government income and
there is comparatively little OPP
position to increased taxes of
some kind. The people in gener-
al have taken it for granted that
taxes must be increased.
Although the ways and means
committee of the house has been
working on a tax program for
several months, it is believed by
many here that in spite of Secre-
tary Morgenthau's urgent re-
quests for immediate action, con-
gress will find ways to delay the
program until after the November
elections. -. ~: ,.+.~,. -,..~-4~
