Correspondence Regarding Truman's Deferred Labor Program and Government Spending, 1945-10-04

George B. Schwabe responds to a letter from C.L. Doughman regarding the $25 per week deferred labor program for unemployed defense workers and federal employees. Schwabe agrees with Doughman's concerns about government spending and lack of sense in President Truman's policies. Doughman's letter expresses opposition to the program, calls for reduction of government employees, discusses the impact of taxes on workers, and advocates for veterans to have priority in buying surplus war materials. Doughman also questions the repayment of lend-lease money and expresses concerns about government spending and foreign aid.
