8/19/41 regards her as the embodiment of all virtu.e and wisdom, it is equally true that there are several million men and women vdiom she irritates very much and v/ho think she is unpleasantly self-satisfied. And, whether the money is given to charity or not , they always will resent the use of her VvTiite House connection to extract large sums from conmiercial enterprises. To the:.i, it is a revolting thought that any ccncem can bid high enough to buy the serv5-ces of the v/ife of the President of the United States," "A great proportion of these people are patriotic Americans •.vho have been strongly anti-New Deal but are now in favor of the President’s foreign policy, anxious to support him in international affairs and to aid in the defense job. These v/ill not be pleased v^fith ms. Roosevelt’s new venture. They will not like having her intermeting the news and instructing them as to the facts. It is true she 'las her millions who cannot get enough of her, and will welcome her 'jack on the air, but there are these other millions who already have had too much. Another weekly dose for a tiiree-month period will not go down with them very well, "It will revive their resentment about the v;hole i/hite House commercial capitalizaticn business. It will recall to them other af'tivities of I.Irs, Roosevelt, such, for example, as her recent en¬ couragement of strikes, her former coddling of young Communists at the ^Vhite House and her membership in the ComiTiunist ic newspaper Guild, Of course, it v/ill not change their feeling about the President’s foreign policy, nor cause them to withdraw their support. That v/ould be silly. But it is bound to darpen their enthusiasm. It will chill the spirit with which they would like to support the President at a time like this. It will make then think of things thej’ would rather forget. It will not promote good feeling," X r '-r \r ’’ *'7 v v V j\. j\. j\. j\, Ji.
