 Whereas, The citizenship of Alabama have long been aware of the great re- sources in this section subject to de- velopment for the benefit of the nation and of the state of Alabama, and
 Whereas, On this occas,on we have in- spected the work being carried on by the government in the construction of the great Wilson dam and plants at Muscle Shoals and the benefit to be derived by the farmers of the nation being apparent, and

 1. That there is no greater economic project to which the Alabama delegation in Congress can lend it's aid than the complete carrying out of the govern- mental programme at Muscle Shoals.
 2 That the Wadsworth-K Kahn bill pro- viding for the operation of United States Nitrate Plant No. ? shold receive the active and ehthusiastic support of the Alabama delegation in Congress, since it means the putting into use for peace time production of the great war plant at Muscle Shoals.

 And he won. The Senate accepted the amendment, and it went to conference. The House conferees, led by Mir. Dent. accepted the Senate amendment, and the entire House accepted the report of the conference.
 The plants were constructed. The war came to a conclusion.
