Hon. s. Hubert Dent, Jr. House
q Representatives,.
My dear Mr.. Dent:
Now that the Army Bill has
oeen successfully brought out o1
conference, | want to express to
you my SINCERE appreciation of the
service you and your colleagues
nave rendered in helping to brinf
the bill to a final consideration. free
from any feature that would embar.
rass the system of draft unon
which it is based. 1 trust that the
conference report may be very
promptly adopted. Every hon,
counts in these critical times. and
oelay might have very serious COLI
sequences.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON,"
Hon. julius Kahn, the ranking
Republican ineMDer OF the House
committee on Military affairs voted
as Mr. Weaver voted, He made a
speech against Mr.. Goods motion to
re-commit. See Permanent Consrss-
lo1al record May 16, 1917, pages
2395 and 1896. Mr.. Kehn in oppos-
ing said motion, said: :
What are the facts about
this matter? The pay of the
soldier under this bill will be
$23 a month on his first enlist
ment. If he has subsequent en-
llstment he gets additional pay,
II he is a p.ivate of the 1st class
he gets So month extra. For
expert Workmanship he gets IS
additional. So that private of
First Class who has number
of enlistments under this bill
will get about $37 a month and
over. and 20 per cent additional
if they get foreign service. The
American who gets $25 a month
under this bill when he goes in
to foreign service will get an in
crease of 20 per cent, or $50 a
month, and that is all the Gen.
tleman of Iowa (Mr. Goode) is
contending for. The moment
our private soldier puts his foot
on the deck of q ship to so
across the Atlantic, under the
bill proposed by the conferees
his pay will jump to $50 a
month.
submit to the House this
proposition. When a bill goes
to Conference it is necessary
for the Conferees to give and
take. The House Conferees
could not get everything that
we wanted in the bill. We have
to yield some things to the
Senate. They wanted some
things in the Legislation just as
earnestly as we did. This is
conference report, agreed to
after mature deiiberation, after
lengthy discussion On the part
of the Conferees Of the two
Houses. and submit that un-
der the circumstances the
House should stand by the Con-
ferees. This bill has remained
unacted upon for a long time.
The country is growing impaii-
ent. Let us enact this into law.
7 feel confident that the nav
of the soldier as proposed in
this bill will be satisfactory to
the American. people and the
american soldier
Do you belive President Wilson
was opposed to an increase of the
pay of the American soldier? HI
asked to have this conference repor
promptly adopted. MIR. Weaver vot.
