| 31. To Curtis
E. Calder (June 4, 1949)
I enclose copy of my answer to your vicarious response to my
letter of the 27th ult.
Your name was prominently featured in the press release, and
you were willing to accept credit as chairman of the International
Relations Committee for the deliberations of the Committee. The
moment, however, you were called upon to think, you took refuge
behind a hired man, who in all probability prepared the publicity
putting the words in your mouth.
How long must the real friends of private enterprise suffer from
the misleadership of prominent business organizations such as
the NAM, which is encumbered by prominent businessmen who are
too lazy to think and who resort to canned publicity releases
prepared by hirelings who don't dare to think?
How long, oh how long?
P.S. You will note that I have sent my pamphlet directly to Mr.
Frank so as to save you the trouble of referring it to him.
