Hon. Harry S. Truman
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
Your message to the Congress today was
quite typical of the usual pattern; namely,
1. No recommendation that the regular expenditures
of the Government be reduced;
2. Fortunately a recommendation for rearmament for
which we have spent many billions over the past few
years and have little or nothing to show for it
because of the incompetent management of your
administration;
3. A complete lack of political courage in your
failure to recommend that wages and prices be
rolled back and put under controls.
I
Apparently, you are willing to bring about
a serious inflationary situation with consequent
misery to everyone.
Very Mailer truly yours,
Louis H. Bieler
