tinue to exist otherwise it to that you open
the doors of the Treasury itself What opportunity
for the pressure obbes And the public would pay the
bill as the public always pays the bill for pressure poll
tics
Moreover far from curing the malady, it would
in the end only add mmeasurably to the difficulties of
restoring sound business enterprise after the war; And
the whole cost would come out OF borrowed money to
be repaid by later generations
The pressure groups more and more concentrate on
the executive departments the bureaus and the COM
missions The spokesmen for organized labor spend not
little of their time importuning the National Labor
Relations Board and the Wage and Hour Administra-
ton in an effort to have labor laws broadened in their
scope
Again and again they are successful In my opinion
the Wagner Labor Relations Act never intended
to cover the territory that takes in today This ex
tension has resulted almost entirely from the constant
pressure of special interest bloc.
And The Public Psys
OuRrNc this grave war emergency we have seen the
rise of particularly disgracefu form of pressure poll
TICS through which well-oonnected in Washington
and familiar with governmental procedure have been
acting as special agents of certain business firms They
have engineered contracts calling for utterly out
rageous profits for their principals in return for per-
centage commissions. Some firms have sought to pass
along the profits by paying their executives uneason
able bonuses.
Since the first disclosures made, have taken the
consistent stand that all contracts should be re-
examined and scaled down to point where proflts
will be reasonable beginning has now been made and
large sums of money have already been saved, but
much more must be done if the American people are
not to be mulcted of hundreds of millions of dollars
How tragic it is that at such critical point in our his
tory we should be forced to waste precious time and
effort in redoing work that has already been DONE and
retracing steps already taken.
Pressure politics not confined to the efforts of out
side organizations and combines 1t abounds within
government itself Heads of departments bureaus and
commissions. themselves the victims of much outside
lobbying activity, have learned to turn these methods
to good account in their own behalf Their efforts to get
increased appropriations for their agencies to secure
for themselves functions, even in certain in
stances gain control Of each other existing functions
have resulted in much waste

postal card letter will register your opinion

men give their mail the most serious attention. In war
time with almost constant sessions keeping Senators
and Representatives in Washington, it is almost the
only way to know what people thinking. With very
little experience it is possible to determine which mail
is part of organized pressure tactics and which mail is
direct and spontaneous expression of the ordinary voter
The former is discounted, it should be, while the
latter is studied seriously.
If member of Congress can feel reasonably sure that
he will be backed up by his constituents, that his
overall judgment will be relied upon even by those who
may disagree with him specific issues there is no
question where his strength will be thrown This sort
of confidence, this kind of assurance from the people
back home will strengthen Congressmen and allow them
to function as truly national body, overriding the
selfish and harmful demands of pressure groups.
The Da.ssr Ahead
If THESE groups become further intIenched during
this period of great national sacrifice and peril it stands
to reason that they will be powerful after the
war is over and by their power will make impossible
the realistic and necessary postwar adjustments to
which the country is eagerly looking forward.

Back Yard Rabbitry Is Inexpensive To Start
COMMERCIAL BREEDERS AID BEGINNERS IN SELECTIONO OF STOCK

This article, the second of four
 On fabbit-raising in the FoOd-for-
 Victory program. was especially
 prepared for NEA Service by ex-
 perts of the Fish and WlldIife
 Service of the U. S. Department
 of the Interior.
 Since so much impetus has been given to the raising of domestic rabbits because rabbit meat is not rationed, prospective breeders are springing up by the thousands all over the country. With food as im- portant now as guns and bullets, the domestic rabbit is getting into the thick of the battle.
 The new breeder first should de- termlne in which phase of rabbit raising he wishes to .engage-"back- yard" for home consumption, or on a commercial scale.
 If the meat is to be used pri- marily to supplement the family food stocks, then or 4 does and a buck of medium-weight or heav- fer breeds will furnish the average family with all the rabbit meat that 1t will use.
 Rabbit hutches for backyard use can be constructed of scrap lumber, used poultry wire, crates, and sirni- lar inexpensive material. They should be made so that they can be kept clean conveniently and will provide for the comfort and easy feeding of the rabbits.
 If portable, they can be easily moved under trees for shade and near or in buildings for protection. The standard hutch is feet long, 3 l-2 feet wide, and feet high, Floors of the self-cleaning type may be made of slats, preferably hard wood, to 1-2 inches wide, spaced 5-8 inch apart.
 INEXPENSIVE HUTCHES
 Managers should be large enough to hold a 24-hour supply of hay and so constructed that they can be filled without opeping the hutch doors. Feed troughs of the drawer type placed under the hay managers

the produetlon state. On the other hand, time may be saved by pur- chasing mature stock, in which case it Is advisable to obtain one or more does, already bred, and then select non-related buck when needed. Reliable breeders will assist the beginners to select desirable, healthy stock. Addresses of breeders can be obtained from local, state, and national rabbit breeders asso- ciations.
 MATE DOES AT MATURITY
 Does and bucks of the small breeds may be mated when 5 to 6 months old; nedium-weight breeds, when 6 to 2 months; and giant breeds, when 9 to 12 months. Mating should be made when the does are coming into maturity. Some difficulty may be experienced in getting them bred if mating is delayed. The doe always should be taken to the bucks hutch for serv. ice, and mating should occur ale most immediately. The doe then should be returned to her own hutch.
 Does carry their young 3l to g days. A litter of 6 to 8 is sufficient for the doe to handle. If two or more does kindle about the same time, the filters may be evened up by transferring young from one to another. The does do not object to this transfer if the change is made within the first 3 or 3 days following the birth of the young.
 The litter should be weaned at about 3 months of age and the doe rebred. For family use, 1t may be desirable to select some of the more rapidly developed flyers at a youn. ger age. If the litter is to be used for meat within 3 or { weeks after weaning, it may be kept together, but does and bucks that are to be retained for breeding purposes should be separated when weaned.
