...itself as a hard and pervasive core within a vastly larger body. Having recently embraced a program so broad that no liberal citizen could oppose it in toto, Communists now claim that a vast majority of citizens favor it.

More important still-despite increasing demand, proration figures have unquestionably been too high. The Petroleum Institute in April stated that 2,600,000 barrels a day (except for California, which has no proration laws) would be about right. The States east of California have actually been producing almost 2,700,000 barrels. As a result, refineries have built up immense inventories- 92,000,000 barrels of gasoline in March...
