l nave opposition in the primary
on May Is, you might naturally
expect this to be something of a
campaign speech. But it is in
tended more as a brief report of
my stewardship-au too brief. The
generosity Of the people of the
seventh Congressional district has
placed me under lasting obliga-
TONS, and I hasten to again ex-
press my genuine appreciation of
the support they have accorded me
In former years.
1t comes to mind oddly enough
Just here that the only opponents 1
have heretofore had were each
residents of Wilmington. They
we're good men and worthy COM
petltors, but even under those cir
cumstances I received a vote in
New Hanover county in each of my
only two contests of which / shall
ever be proud, and if present in
dlcations fully mature on May Is
then indeed will all crooked paths
be made completely straight and,
SO far as I am concerned, we
will live happily ever afterwards.
High Privilege
Let me add in a more serious
vein that any assistance, great or
small, that I have been able to give
the splendid leaders of your COM
munity in the development and
Improvement Of the port, your
schools, the postal facilities, and
service to your city and county,
and other things that might be
mentioned as contributing in some
measure to the fine progress and
development that is presently
yours, I hold to be a privilege OF
the highest order.
For many and good reasons
should naturally enough like to visit
every part of our district and talk
in person with those whom it is
my privilege to represent. Moth
ing could be more pleasant, and
certainly nothing could be more
helpful than to get the view OF
the average man and woman at a
time when it is my duty to regis
ter the judgment of more than
three hundred and fifty thousand
people upon the tremendously inn
portant questions arising constant
1y in the Congress of the United
States. But my opportunity to dc
this is necessarily limited by the
discharge of these important duties
in that Congress which is now ir
session.
Clear Mandate

NEW LEASE OF LIFE

extended its full program OF ser
vice and activities to the Veterans
Administration, and the report that
data is being compiled to show
the need Of it's continuance here,

Although officials would not say
Whether the club will continue

The release from USO National,
regarding its assistance to the
Veterans Administration, said the
service will be carried on in ad-
dition to existing activities for
servicemen and ex-GT's. At the
same time emphasis was placed on
the necessity for raising funds tc
continue the USO program through

what I have been sent to Washing

money with which to secure man
ayers and set up a great political
organization throughout the dis
trict for the purpose Of influencing
the result of the primary. Further
more, 1 do not like the idea of
attempting this even if l had the
time and the means. A clear
mandate of the people themselves
has always been my good fortune,
and I would not know how to act
under a commission renewed other
wise than by their free choice.
My services embraces an al
together unusual period in the his
tory of our country. 1t reaches
back to the depression of 1929 and
the hardships, distress, and bank
ruptcy of 1930-31 and '32. 1t in
cludes the dark day in March, 1888,
when every bank in the United
States had to close it's doors and
the years Immediately following
during which it was necessary to
resort to many new things in Or
der to prevent suffering, maintain
order, and get business moving
again. Hardly had this been &C
complished when national defense
became a necessity, followed close
ly by the far more solemn time
when we saw our sons marching
away to war not knowing how or
when or whether they would come
back. Thanks to their gallantry
that dark cloud has been rolled
back, and it is now high priv
lege to regain normal conditions
in our own land and try to estab-
lish a lasting peace throughout the
world.
Necessary Laws
During and since the Revolution
America has come successfully

there has been no other periot
in the history of u country whel
the Federal government had to $
completely dominate the picture
and lead the way for so long a
since the great depression Of 1929
On this account more Federal law
and regulations directly affecting
the life of the average citizen hav'
been necessary than during al
the rest of our history. These hav'
been troublesome, but there was NJ
other way. The war, too, brough
tragic problems to thousands o
homes in our district.
