A Statesman's Reply

Copy of a letter from an A-card New Jersey citizen to her junior Senator (who got an X card):

"The Hon. W. Warren Barbour, M.C. The United States Senate

Dear Mr. Barbour:

It is a humiliating disappointment to many of us in New Jersey that you should be one of the overwhelming majority of Senators who refuse to give up your special privileges in the gasoline rationing.

If the so-called leaders of our country set such an example of selfish lack of public spirit in this crisis, what can be expected of the people they are supposed to represent! Is it any wonder that so many are claiming X cards? . . .

It really looks as though there is less real patriotism and willingness to go all out to win the war in Washington than anywhere else in the United States."

Senator Barbour's telegraphed reply:

APPRECIATE THOUGHTS GAS RATIONING. SOLUTION DUE SHORTLY TRANSPORTATION PIPE LINES.

W. WARREN BARBOUR, U.S. SENATOR
