I recognize the need of having a commission to examine into conditions that will exist after the conclusion of the war. but -to create a commission and allow them to go traveling over the world. as this joint resolution provides. during these war times. when everyone knows that this war is going to change completely the sociological conditions of and the obligations of government itself. those who survive from tme bittle field. ..s well as those who do not partake but remain in the industrial walks of life. after peace is concluded would make their report of little value. I think the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio is a most meritorious one. This work will be of little value if it is going to proceed at the present ti~me. We have had commissions in time of peace. commissions. for instance. on immigration. that have traveled the world over and collected voluminous information. but what value will the findings be of these traveling experts on conditions of today. which everyone recognizes will not be nornail after the conclusion of the war?
