![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas has proposed bills to re-establish a Civilian Conservation Corps with an enrollment of between 150,000 and 200,000 young men. The Corps would provide valuable work and educational experiences while also addressing the issue of youth unemployment.

The estimated cost of the program is $400 million a year, but Representative Douglas believes it will yield significant returns in terms of human and natural resources. The Corps would be non-military and overseen by a Commission consisting of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0000-1950%20Campaign%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas's%20Speeches/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0028_thumbnail.jpg "The United Nations Action in Korea: A Decisive Day in World History")

![["Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas supports H.R. 792, the Fair Employment Practice Bill, which aims to prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, religion, color, national origin, or ancestry. She argues that this bill is not only about protecting the basic right to seek a livelihood without discrimination, but also about promoting national defense, economic self-interest, and moral principles. Douglas emphasizes that fair employment practices are good for business and essential for America's productive capacity. She believes that fair treatment for minorities is crucial for the country's moral and spiritual leadership in the world and for maintaining trust with other nations.
