 THANKS TO WILSON
fy Dear MT. Presfdent:-

-l.-
 My Dear MT. President:-
 E write to thank you for your letter commenting the work Of my colleagues in this Congress. It is great pleasure to ms all b know that the hard work of the past eighteen months in carrying out the policy of your AdnaInisfratiOn meets with your cordial approval.
 ann sure that I caB say Tor my colleagues, as well as myself, that. although we have str1ven earnestly to keep our promises to the peo- pie and write on the statute books legislation in keeping with the pro- gressive spirit of the times. we feel that it is largely due to your mag snifIcent leadership that we have accomplished in one Congress more remedial Iegislation in the in- terest of the American people than has been accomplished by iegisla.- tion in several decades before this Congress met
 We cannot expect that the re- forms inaugurated by your Admin isEatdOn will Immediately demon strate their worth. After a law is on the statute books. it takes months, and often years, before the sentiment of the country ad- justs itself to the new conditions. but feel sure that time will prove that the legislation which has been enacted at thfs Congress is the be ginning Of a new life for our ns- tion. We have opened the way to fairer business conditions aud established on a ffrIu foundation individual liberty and business for our people.
 believe we can now look for ward to an era of peace with all foreign nations and prosperity for our people at home as the crown ing success of your great admins tration of the Government of our country.
 With kindest regards. I ann, cor diaIIy and sincerely yours,
 o. W. UNDERWOOD.
