There should be provisions for good quarters upon the ships of the country. but irrespective of whether that obtains today or not. there is no excuse for the Congress blinding itself to the possibility that a dominant group among the marine personnel of the country is working itself in position where one day it may seek absolute charge and stymie the efforts of the auxiliary defense weapon that we are creating now and have been creating since 1936. Some years ago I had great faith in the leadership of the marine personnel of the country. When I first came to this body in 1933 and was assigned to the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. there came a very kindly gentleman who was the spokesman and the legislative representative for the sailors of the country. A bust of that gentleman stands in the foyer of the Labor Department today. He was described by one of the greatest American artists as having the most expressive face in America.
