Congressman who go overseas to OBJ
tain first hand information of conditions
in the war zone may be pardoned for
accepting as one of the consequences of
their tour good deal Of advertising
when they get back home There is
plenty Of testimony from various sources
to show that our fighting men would be
just as much obliged if non.essential

to stick closely to ones job.
