MY Dear MIR. Pou: Inasmuch as
learn that Mr.. Henry, the chairman Of
the committee on rules, Is absent in

your attention, as ranking member of
the committee, to a matter of grave
concern to the country which can,

II therefore feel justified in asking
that your committee will permit me to
urge an early vote upon the resolu-

merchantmen which have recently
been SO much talked about, in order
that there may be afforded an imme-
diate opportunity for full public dis

that all doubts and conjectures may

Ihe matter is Of so great import
