Under popular administration, however, Brown can operate the OPA without spending as much money. He can reduce false reports and misleading regulations which have been issued and put into effect, only to be superceded a few days later with a different regulation which requires another ad- justment by consumers and retailers. Brown can abolish the bulldozing the public attitude that the OPA has reeked with in recent months. Let the OPA officials assume that the American people are both patriotic and intelligent, and act accordingly—don't try to scare and threaten. So far, the OPA has not been able to sell itself as being a friend of both the retailer and the con- sumer, whose job is to help civillans to meet the problems of war.
