The people of America are demanding that we let them know how we stand. whether we are going to permit this practice to continue. or whether we are going to endeavor to stop it by some legislation in this body. I repeat that I believe that any and every ablebodied man. or woman for that matter. who is desirous of aiding the Government in the preparation of its defensive or offensive program .should be permitted to go into a factory or plant and work. If he or she is a man or woman of good character. an American citizen. either nativeborn or naturalized. he or she should be permitted to work now. when our country is in peril. Mr. President. my distinguished colleague the Senator from Tennessee . for whom I have the greatest admiration and affection. has said to us that this is not the time or the place for the acceptance of legislative proposals of this sort In the form of amendments.
