have made very little headway
toward compromising the differ-
ences between the House and
Senate on either the Surplus
Property Disposal Bill to the Un-
employment Insurance Bill. It
now seems that it will probably
be several weeks before final
action is taken on these measures
The War Department has an-
nounced a program of discharges
based on a number of factors.
Among the most important fac-
tors will be the family status, the
length, location, and type of ser-
vice, trasportation facilities and
of course, the immediate needs
of the armed forces in the area. I
think it is safe to say that after
the defeat of Germany, many
fathers and probably some non-
fathers who have had a long per-
iod of service wifi be released. It
must, however, be remembered
that even if 2,000,000 men are
discharged, this will only be
about one man out of six, and
that in every case the military
needs must continue to come
first until Japan is finally .de-
feated.
On Tuesday,. September 5th, I
was privileged to sit in the Sen-
ate Chamber and listen to what
T fear was the opening of an-
other “unlimited debate” against
effective American participation
in any post war world peace or
ganization. Just as the repub-
licans of the Senate of twenty-
five years ago professed to be-
lieve in a League of Nations and
then talked it to death so do
some of the republicans Senators
of today say that they want the
United States to cooperate with
the other great powers to main-
tain peace and then begin to find
fault with any effective coopera-
tion. It is evident that the repub-
licans are going to try to scare
the nation with the contention
that someone other than Congress
wi! have the power to authorize
the use of American troops to
prevent aggression. I was in-
deed proud of the way our own
Senator Connally, as chairman
of the Foreign Relations Com-
mittee, answered the republicans
and pointed out that if we really
wanted peace we must be ready
to act a find that through all our
history, republicans as well as
democratic presidents had used
troops to prevent war and that
if we are unwilling to do this in
cooperation with our allies* we
will unquestionably he forced to
do it aOone. I prefer the aid of
England, Russia, China and oth-
er nations.
This letter is being written one
day early (Sept. 7) and will pro-
bably be my last for several
weeks, as I am leaving tonight
for Great Britain, where I hope
to get a little better understand-
ing of the problems of the war
and possibly of the peace. I have
long felt that any representative
could do a better job of dealing
with war problems if he, himself,
coifkl see those problems first
hand. We all hope that the
problems of a directly military
nature will soon be over. I can
not but feel that a first hand ac-
quaintance with problems in
other nations and actual observa-
tion of the conditions in the field
of conflict and under which out
hoys have had to work and fight
essential to the most effective
representation. I tihnk that
President Roosevelt has been able j
to accomplish much by his num-
erous trips to various parts of
the world. I personally think
that it wouhl he sound govern-
mental policy for the United
States to send, every member of
congress who would go to the
various military theaters of the
world where our boys are fight-
ing. We have not aopted this
policy, however, and only a very
few representatives of very spec-
ial committees of the congress
have been sent abroad.
Some time ago I discovered
that I could make arrangements
to go to G(feat Britain unofficial-
ly? paying for my own tickets,
hotels, ete. As very few Ameri-
cans are able t© make this trip
except those who are actually
sent by our government, I con-
sidered this a great opportunity.
I leave tonight and shall •proba-
bly be gone for several weeks.
While in England I hope to see
the actual extent of destruction
occasioned by the war to see first
hand the living conditions and
hospital facilities of our troops;
to get an idea as to the speed of
European recovery after the war.
I aOso want to see British agri-
culture at first hand and to visit
the English cotton spinning cen-
ers. Upon the ability of these
mills and of other European mills
to spin our cotton after the war
depends our ability to dispose of
our tremendous stock of cotton.
No matter what the demand for
cotton goods may be after the
war, it is utterly impossible for
the American mills to spin as
much raw cotton as we are now
growing.
With best wishes, I am
Yours for Victorv,
W. R. POAGE.
