October 9, 1941.
Dear John:
This will acknowledge and thank you for your wire of
September ¿9> in which you comment favorably on my testimony before the Houae ranking and currency Committee on the matter of
wages and salaries as a part of the price problem* I have had
numerous commendations from business men, professional men and
Government officials, but as you might surmise no bouquets from
the ranks of wage earners. This is just one other instance of
the conflict between class, or sectional interest and the national
welfare.
Larry Clayton was glad to have your regards and joins me
in best wishes to you.
Should 1 be fortunate enough to get away for a vacation
in Florida this coming winter, 1 shall hope for the pleasure of
seeing you.
Sincerely

Mr. John S. Swift,
