Inc answer is yes'-but the extra quantity we will
get VIII probably be very small at first.
The most optimistic estimate have heard
made by Petroleum Administrator Ickes-i. that
civilians will get 100000 barrels more per day. At
present, civilians getting an average of 547OO
barrels daily If Mr.. Ickes is right-we would get
an approximate increase of $500 So, if you get
ting two gallons of gas per week at present this
might be increased to almost three gallons.
But holders of "A coupons may even get that much
increase For the OPA has found that there are many
holders OF "B" coupons who do not now have enouoH

informed Republican managers upon

Altogether, 1t Is not an encourag-
ing Democratic prospect and it is
easy to credit the report that Mr..
Hannegan is unhappy. In fact,
the prospect of Republican House
and a Democratic President from
1916 to 1948 is not encouraging for
the Nation as a whole.
The problems of the next two
years are so important that CO.
operation between the Executive and
Congress is vital. Unfortunately
politics are such that full co-opera-
ton is almost impossible when the
President and majority of the
House are Of opposite parties. 1t
is not pleasant to think that the
health of the whole country depends
so much upon pressure groups in a
few States-but such is the fact.
