February 2k, 1945• Dear Bob: This is to thank you i'or your thoughtful note of February 17 enclosing a copy of the St, Louis PostDispatch of February 11 containing an essay which was taken verbatim from a speech I gave before the National Industrial Conference Board last November, Curiously enough, this particular effort has received more notice, especially from labor groups, than anytning I ever uttered. At the same time, it has been badly panned by the Kail Street Journal, Thus I feel rather comforted about it, and the* more so to have your commentary. with best regards, Sincerely yours, Mr, Robert E.
