therefore, must be won over to the

can only be created by expanding our

Congress seems to be making very
slow progress in passing a tax meas
ure and In cansidcrln* bu U> ¡mpu*-
tant domestic bills as the suggested
i subsidy plan. Perhaps it is well that
action has been slow, considering the
rapidly changihg war picture which
makes frequent revision of domestic
policy necessary.
As usual, Congress is very fearful of
the strong pressure groups. It is sen
sitive to any shifting of the balance
of power between the huge opposing
groups, such as organised labor vér-
sus organized farmers. The subsidy
measure, defeated in the House, is
about to receive a face lifting in the
Senate because propaganda ■ has
aroused pressure groups to fly to its
defense.
There la no danger to America as
long as no one pressure group is per
mitted to capture balance of power,
and as long as the free ballot exists.
