As the others in the\nroom knew, the Vice President said he had been traveling all over\nthe\ncouldn't\ncountry. He found there was a real underground movement that he cento\nput his finger on. \"People you were trying to reach weren it there. \"\nThe minds of the American people were being poisoned by lies and\nrumors and untrue statements that caused them to worry and doubt their\nleadership. \"I don't know the remedy but it must be found.\"\nThe President said we were facing a situation at home like that\nin this country in 1840 (referring to the Know-Nothing movement) .\n\"It is not political -- it is a question of national survival. \"\nThe Secretary of the Treasury referred to an article in the noon\nedition of the Washington Daily News, which was an example of a\nScripps-Howard effort to create dissatisfaction with the Government.\nMr. Harriman addressed the President and said he was not sure\nthat we could get back to unity without Presidential leadership)\nS\nand the taking of firm position by the President on these all-important -\nquestions.\nC.S."
