Hon. Harry S. Truman
President of the United States
Washington, D.C.
Honorable Sir:
G
I have been for you ever since the Truman
committee days, for your splendid espousal of F.D. R. Is New
Deal ideals, for your attitude on the railroad and coal
strikes, for your position in the Henry Wallace affair,
with you on your stand on O.P.A. but now your position on
the Wyatt resignation disillusions me as to your sincerety,
especially, when your man Allen is personally interested.
Too many of your advisers seem to be tained with personal
interest.
How you can do something that alienates a
supporter like Editor Evjue of the Capital Times, Madison,
Wisconsin, so completely and make it impossible for your
friends to reply to your enemies on the housing situation,
and expect to survive, I can't understand!
More and more people are now coming to
understand what Harold Ickes meant when he said he could
no longer remain in your cabinet.
All I can say is that this latest act of
yours is one I cannot tolerate if I consider myself a liberal.
I hope it is not too late to drive the Allens
out of your official life, and keep the Wyatts in. It is
your only chance for survival.
Very sincerely yours,
PG:jh
