A Letter From Our Congressman
Capitol Hill
Washington, D. C.
June 7, 1941
My dear Constituents:
In my last letter 1 discussed
briefly the President's momentous
"Proclamation of Emergency” of
May 27, 1941, and stated that 1
would give you this week a state
ment of the extraordinary powers
which, under the law. may be ex
ercised by the President under
such conditions
1. He may call the National
Guard into active national service.
2. He may have the Coast
Guard operate as a part of the
Navy.
3. He may fill both the Army
*nd Navy to full authorized
strength, call all reserve and re
tired officers and men to active
duty, and commission such offi
cers of Army and Navy as may
be required.
4. He may designate, regardless
of priority of rank, officers to
command forces in the field.
5. He may waive stipulations of ,
the 8 hour law in public contracts
the
8. Immediate possession of land
needed for military purposes may
be taken at the beginning of con
demnation proceedings for same
7. He may declare priority for
use of the Government facilities
of railroads, public utilities, nitrate
plants, and any facilities necessary
tor defense.
8. He may increase marketing
quotas of agricultural commodities,
corn, wheat, rice, cotton and to
bacco, if necessary in defense.
9. He may prohibit importation
into the United States of articles
from countries which prohibit,
contrary to law, and practice of
nations, the importation of any
products of the Lnited States.
10. He may withhold clearance
of vessels in our ports under cer
tain circumstances.
11. He may order interment of
•liens in the United States under ;
cei tain circumstances.
12. As Commandei-in-Chief of
disposition ce Army and of Navy Army he and can order Navy
forces for defense.
Of course there are many more
powers granted under the Lease
Lend Bill and other statutes,;
with which most of you are fa
miliar.
In the opinion of most of the
leaders no further legislation is
needed to authorize the President
to order naval patrols and disposi
tions of the fleet. I do not think
there is any question, under the
accumulations of statutes enacted

THE ABLEST statesmen and most capable military leaders China
has ever known are today directing the new fight which China’s
400 million people are waging to drive out the invading armies of
Axis-Partner Japan. Grneralissimo Chiang Kai-shek has purged his
armies of grasping warlords and incompetent marshals and has
surrounded himself with officers of superior intelligence, unques
tioned loyalty and boundless enthusiasm. The latest March of Time
film, "China Fights Rack”, shows how Chiang and his staff are
today leading the Chinese people in their struggle to preserve their
free and democratic way of life.

Legion strength and Legion use
