to be done without specific authority
in order to secure production.
Now it appears that under those
powers the President claims the
right to grant huge subsidies for
food without further authority.
Congress passed the Lanham Act
to assist housing and other condi-
tons in areas around camps and
new industrial plants. We suddenly
find that the money is being used
to subsidize day nurseries, certainly
not within the contemplation of the
authors of the law. Even the ex-
penditure for war housing and COM
munity facilities, themselves, is
wasteful because the housing is of
the most temporary character, but
Congress has felt that there should
be no hindrance to the production
program through any shortage of
labor or the means of living within
reach of the places where work
must be done"
Hits Name Calling.
Mr. Taft denied that the Smith
Connally bill, passed over the Presi-

sire to tear down all the benefits

long period" He contended that the

nent policy but as a war measure to

businessmen have big contracts
from the Government, and they do
not want to direct any attention
to themselves by political activity.
Most Of them have labor problems
in their plants, and they don't want
to antagonize the unions. Congress

he continued, pointing to the Gre
alton OF the George Postwar Plan
ming Committee.
Mr.. Taft said that an important
bulwark of American Government
is the division Of power among the
Executive, Congress and the courts.
and that a further essential Is in
dependence of the individual. He
said Congress has indicated clear
ly its belief that the individual
must be left free to work out his
own life, choose his own occupation
and freely speak his mind.
I'm writing the Price Control
Act" he said, Congress indicated
clearly its belief that all such con-
trolls should be based on conferences
with the trades involved, and on
their recommendation, and with
their cooperation. But Leon Hen
decson and his lawyer and professor
associates had that same contempt
| for the Bill of Rights as that shown
by Henry Wallace. The failure or
the home front in price control and
other activities has been largely due
to the reckless disregard of those
individual rights which Americans
regard is inalienable.

their enemies American Fascists,

through their hats he declared .
And they are doing a real dis
service to national unity because
they are resorting to name alling
and smearing instead of presenting
reasoned arguments for their own
position. A difference of opinion is
characteristic of democratic peoples.
Bitter name-calling and personal
