two million dollars on it for that
particular purpose. President Tru
man knew what fighting on from
island to island would meen, and
that it would save American lives
to use the bomb, so made ! -decision.
"One thing we must remember
to the credit of our nation . . . de
spite the infamv of Japan at Pearl
Harbor. The President said we
will not drop the bomb without
giving notice. Japan received no
tice, but said we were bluffing and
refused to surrender, so the bomb
was dropped.
"Since the surrender the people
of America h:ve done more to re
lieve want, suffering in the world
than all others. I do not think
we have done more thru our part
because we have received so boun
tifully from God.
"We have a great nation. Yes.
And we have some trouble, some
who would take away liberly, un
dermine our government . . .
There are labor dictators who
would tear down our t,jveinmeiit
without thought. John L. Lewis
would freeze the nation if by doing
so he could get more power . . .
Labor is a great force in our coun
try, and I stand behind him in their
desire to get fair wages and better
working conditions. But some of
their leaders desire power so much
they endanger our basic freedoms
... It is time for the American
people to assert themselves, and!
t'onciess must express their will.
"If we settle our labor difficulty;
we will go on to our greatest period 1
of prosperity."
Senator Hoey then decried those J
writers and speakers who forecast
a national depression: something
thev evpect as a natural event fol
lowing a war. "Why now?" he
a-ked. "A depression comes from
lack of work or money. What arc
condition-- todav?
"F.arnins power of the people
of the I'nited Slates is 170 billion
doli.irs . . . 130 billion for spend
ing." Large vxoiirccs exist in
bank savings and in government
bonds. In addition there is a res
ervoir of funds for pensions, re
tirement, and unemployment. All
this, coupled with the need of goods
in our country and the "almost un
touched" i. a.-k ts of the world
opened through 27 reciprocal
trade treaties I do not contribute to
a depression
"In 1932 only 50 per cent of the
American people had money for
necessities. Now there are 9fl per
cent, and most of these buy many
luxuries. Today more people have
jobs, higher pay. and more money
than at any other period in his
tory. The farmers are in better
condition todav than ever before.
There are thoe who believe we
will have war with Russia. "I do
not subscribe to that sentiment."
