The House. though it has been in session. has not seen fit to learn the actual conditions. Beyond questiori. although not only the occupants of the White House and Members of Congress have been fully advised of the unAmerican activities which were delaying our aid to England. slowing down our own defense work. no action was taken until the First Lady. appearing before the House committee studying migration problems. listened to the story of Mrs. Thomas. who charged that her husband. an electrician and a migrant. could not obtain employment at Fort Belvoir because he could not meet the union demand. Asked about this situation. the First Lady. put on the spot. suggested. in substance. that it would be well for the committee to call those who knew about the situation and learn the facts. It is a strange commentary upon our vaunted democracy that although the injustice that was being done our workers and our needy was known to our executive officers. to the Congress. no action was taken until in a public hearing the situation was brought before an occupant of the White House.
