Immediately. and finally.

Cling foolishness generally in the
war program.
They think too much money Is
being wasted on non-defense &C
tivities that are unnecessary at
this time and will interfere with
the war program.
\ believe the people have the
right idea. / want to see Congress
speed up on that kind OF pro-
gram. and have been working for
such a speed-up for long time.
But I must say this:
Congress has not delayed on
support for the war program it
self. Speaker Rayburn Of the
House called attention 10 this
himself. in a public statement the
other day.
Congress has responded prompt
~, generously. and without delay
10 every request from the White
House for funds to carry on the
war; for every change in laws re-
quested TO speed the war program.
That Congress has not acted as
, speedily or fully TO cut down on
. non-defense activities has been
' largely due TO opposition from the
administration TO any reduction in
these programs.
ONE BIG TROUBLE
Congress Is ready, has been
ready for many weeks In my judg-
rnent, 10 eliminate such agencies
as NYA and the CCC, but the adj
ministration has been insisting
that Congress delay while some
way could be found 10 call these
agencies war agencies, essential
TO the national defense.
The President made the admin
istration position very plain along
: these lines at his press conference
last Tuesday.
That Is one trouble about Great

whether or not il is labeled an

its head is named and the job
holders named. these start pulling

and hold their own jobs.
We see that in all branches OF
government, state and local as
well as federal. II is harder to
klose out a government agency
than for the proverbial camel to
,go through the needles eye.
