Mildred Herman Writes Views Of Washington

i one llllpIeSSlOllS Ol AfIlerlCd capital city, so many people rush ing here and there, the fine art of snaring a taxicab, the difficulty of finding something to eat, -- un- less and until your friends come to the rescue the mad hustle and hustle that characterizes the opening and closing of the work day.
 But mostly, think, the inn pression of Washington that dwarfs all others, that explains all the hustle and hustle and scur- ry, is that Washington is the place where government is made.
 For Government is the big bus ines in Washington. It's the most important manufactured out put. There, government is turned out by the factory hands, i. e., the Government employees, from the President on down.
 You get sort of assembly line feeling as you watch the wheels turn. You see glimpses of this and of that, you watch small segment being turned out that you know has to be fitted in with thousands of other small segments Chat. you have not seen aborn- ing) before composite whole can be achieved.
 .. So, my biggest impression of Washington as I look back on 1t after a week in the peaceful serenity of Minnesota, is that it is a Government factory where laws are turned out, bit by bit, and come ultimately to be assem- bled into the body of legislation that shapes and controls the lives of all of us. Sinister forces oft times go into the making of those laws, but so also does the inspired and effective effort of patriotic citizens working unselfishly and wholeheartedly for the benefit of the peoples welfare. Some times the sinister forces prevail, but pretty generally, I think, the public servants of the Country, from the President on down, give the people of America what they are entitled to. And they are only entitled to what they are willing to fight for, work for, and live up to after they get it.
 Eternal vigilance -- on the part of the people -- is still the price of liberty.
 Washington is not America. It is not even typical of America. It is the only city where more Gov ernment of America is made for the people of America. That Government will be good only as the people of America will that 1t be good. And so far as OPA is concerned, the people of Amer ica are expressing, in no uncer- tain terms, what their will is. I believe that Congress will listen to the voice of the people of America and renew the Price Control Act substantially un- changed.
