j been here a week. Monday
When we assembled
members (except a few \vh
ill) were in their seats,
refreshed from their visits to
people, and a glance over the
chamber convinced me that the
^ ew days rest Lad help'- esa --
The rest not miv benefit ted (he
tired members physically, but the
visits back in their respective dis
tricts served to convince the mem
bers that the great majority ot our
people want the defense program
carried out, and they want no in
terference to the program oi any
kind
1 think the House and Senate
should take a week or ten days
vacation from their work here at
least every 60 days.
Some of the members from the
far distant States home
over week-ends like many of us
and they idge the sent
ment of the people back home by
letters they receive from deter
mined minorities who succeed in
convincing them that they speak
the thoughts of the majority. My
observation is that those who fa
vot the program write a few let
ters and seldom express them
selves, while the opposition is loud
in their criticism.
When we got back most oi us
thought it would take weeks to
l'inally dispose of the tax bill. This
Revenue Act of 1941 is the biggest
and most far reaching tax bill
evei passed by any country. It is
far bigger than any other tax
measure ever passed by the United
States. Yet when it reached the
floor of the House it passed with
out even a roll call vote. Old
timers were amazed. Veteran
newspaper men were astounded
and called it a miracle. They spoke
of tax bills of former years of
long debates and great speeches
by such members as Claude Kitch
en, Champ Clark and Oscar Un
derwood. But the lobbyists did not
have a chance. I think the reason
tor the quick passage of this bill
that will collect 3 7 billion dollars
from our people next year, was
the fact that our members came
back here fresh from their con
stituency with the conviction that
the American people want Nation
al Defense and are willing to pay
for it and do not want to see any
further dilatory tactics.
So I think the visits back home
made this prompt action possible.
Such visits will help again and
again.
In Mexico City the Fourth Pan j
American Highway Congress is
now in session. Thi s body has as
its object the building of good
roads to link and connect the
countries of the Western Hemis
phere, and in that way to pro
mote good will and understtanding
between all the Americans, Many
believe that good roads will solve
the Pan American problems, and
certain it is that aothing is more
important.
Sincerely,
A. Sidney Camp, M. C.
