COP. Executive Declares
Desire for AII-Out Effort
Stirs Unrest Over Labor
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Clarence B. Kelland, executive
assistant of the Republican National
Committee. said today the American
people ARE resentful and humili-
ated at being kicked around in this
war"
Mr.. Kelland, who arrived here to
take over his combined post Of
executive and publicity director at
Republican national headquarters,
declined to speculate on how that
feeling might be reflected in coming
election primaries because "a great
victory for this country might
change that feeling overnight"
Summing up survey he made in
A cross-country trip here, the au-
thor and lecturer said he found the
people thinking mostly about the
conduct of the war, production,
labor and related questions and
essential spending.
He looked for all of those to figure
in the congressional and State cleo
tion campaigns unless subsequent
events distract public attention.
Someone Is to Blame"
"The first thing I noticed" he
said, was a feeling of resentment
and Humiliation at being kicked
ar6Gnd' in this war. We are not
used to being pushed around this
way, and there seems to be gen.
eral feeling that someone is to
blame"
Disagreeing with those who con-
tend the people in many sections
are apathetic about the war, Mr..
Keuand said that from coast to
coast he found them 100 per cent
back of the war" and willing to
"suffer and sacrifice to win it."
They want to be assured, how
ever" he continued, that the
leadership is intelligent and is do
ing all that can be done. The
people seem to feel there is GER
tain amount of confusion both in
the direction of the war effort and
in the program to manufacture and
deliver to the boys at the front the
things they must have
Desire for Speed. Action.
He also noted a feeling that there
had been mot enough delegation of
authority to men who are compe-
tent to manage production and see
that the stuff is delivered promptly.
There is desire for speed and i'm
mediate action
AS for spending and taxation, he
said he found the people willing to
pay high taxes IF they can be as
sured that their money is going for
the war and not for things unrelated
to the war"
He reported to Chairman Joseph
w. Martin and other G. o. P. lead
FRS here great unrest over what
he called the labor situation"
Some say this has been inspired"
he said. but such manifestations
that I have seen have not been of
the group or organized kind. I be-
lieve it is a spontaneous thing.
The thinking fellows are worry
ing more about the condition not
being wisely handled rather than
centering their feelings on the 40
hour week or some other single
item. There is feeling that there
has not been a wise leadership
which will bring solution salts
