last World war In which we
participated. Wo have millions
of unemployed despite our im
mense national defense program.
The largest in any country of all
the world at any time has "ever
undertaken In peace despite
the fact that wo have approxi
mately s million on the WPA
rolls despite the fact that an
estimated 4 million are em
ployed by the federal, state,
county, city and other local
governments, despite the fact
that we have 200,000 young men
In the CCC camps, and despite
the fact that millions are being
provided with direct federal,
state, county, city, group and
individual relief."
Right now, the senator said, the
nation is "perilously, dangerous
ly close to war." He acknowledged
that a controversy existed as to
whether the pending bill would
take the nation closer to war. He
added that he did not know defin
itely which said was right but had
his opinion..
"Insofar as I am concerned,'
he said, "I am not willing to
tako the chance of moving my
country closer to a war which Is
not ours. Therefore, I am going
to vote against this bill."
War, he asserted, would lead to
eventual "chaos" in this country.
'So, if after the passage of this
bill the time arrives to take the
last and final step I mean a
declaration of war by this body
I want to serve notice now that
I shall never cast my vote to send
American manhood across any
ocean to fight in any way for the
preservation of any foreign nation
'In conclusion, I want to state
that I am not opposed to giving
aid to England as is provided un
der existing statutes."
