Bahdwin, first vice-. president, listed 23 senate bills and 108 house bis introduced *e frst session of the 76th Congress, affect- ing the.trade agreements program, and, ail but a few wereihi the nature of attacks. Score' Failure to Act The legislation of. most. interest to members of the League of Women Voters was neutrality, a subject.on wýhich>:Mrs. Baldwin said: "'Congress could have done nothing worse1 on neutrality than to do nothing. La.ck of action constitutes hands-across-* the-sea to those countries the Ameir- ican people do not wish to aid. As Representative Johnson, Democrat of Oklahoma, expressed it, the pres- ent neutralityr law 'has penalized the weak and helpless nations and made us practically an ally of the strong aggressor nations.' Representative Wadsworth. Repubhican of New York, also made a telling point when, he said, 'Freedomn of action is our one safe road, freedom for the Pres- ident, and the Congress, acting to- gether, to determine our course in the face of an emergency, freedom to determine what is best for our country' 0f the trade agreements program;' Mrs. Baldwi said: "The înultiplici- ty of individual bills now on the Ieg- islative roster, indicates a definite building up for. a major attack on the trade agreements program at the next session. The products list- ed in their tities include everythig from fox furs to cashew nuts, tapi- oca, cassava, and sago, and indlicate that the traditional 'log-rolling' of tariff history is with us agahi.. Analyze Attacks "The National League of Women Voters has kept track of and ana- lyzed both direct and indirect at- epartment of Agr. cite 3-Peint "The League Of interes tutrougi me LL7¶agree- ments program at the next session of Congress." Mrs. Baldwin briefly summarized other measures of special i.nterest to the organization during the ses- sion: "The League notes with plea- sure the majority- sentiment for libý- eralizing of aid for dependentchil-, dren in the amendmnents to the So, cial Security Act and the 72 and 2 vote in the seniate for requiring state menit systems mn social sec'urity set- ups. -This organization regards, the Hatch bill .prohibiting 'pernicious political activity' by .federa.lem- ployees .as a back-door attempt to get at the. ab uses ýof the patronage system 'instead of a frontal attack to destroy the patronage systemý by, requirng. that ail federal personnel be. subjeet to the Civil Service Act and Rules.. The League, worked, diii- gently throughout the session for passage of the Ramspeck bill wbch would authorize the President to place within the. civil service systcn. positions t h a t Congress has ex- empted. " ARE YOIJ INTERESTED? W. A. Neilson, president of Smith college, says: "'I have had occasion t.o observe t h e activities of the League of Women Voters for many years, and arn more and more i- pýessed by its importance ini the political education of the country-. Its lack of partisanship, its empha- sis upon fact finding, and the serupu- bous care with which it selects those issues on which it takes up a definite position, have earned for it the high- est respect of ail who are interested in raising the level of American po- litical thinking." If you do agrée with President Neilson, if you believe in democra,- cy as, *"gverniment, by the consent of the, governed" and,. if you be- lieve that we who govern by "our consent must assume our share of responsibility for the acts of g overni- ment, then we believe that you il want us to tell you about our organi- zation-Wilrnette League of Women Voters, Mrs. Louis Gilîson, member- he export 0o ýd by the Mrs. Emma Nordquist of 1534 Wil- mette avenue entertained a group of km Chicago friends at luncheon Wed- i Voters, nesday.o! hast.weeký.
