- Description:
- The document from George B. Schwabe, a member of the House of Representatives, states that he has received numerous letters requesting his support for the proposed British loan. He sent out questionnaires to 40,000 people in his district and found that the overwhelming sentiment is against supporting the loan. Schwabe expresses his doubts about the loan and mentions that the British themselves do not have high hopes of receiving it. On the other hand, a letter from a constituent, Helen M. Smith, urges Schwabe to support the loan, citing the importance of world trade and the potential consequences of denying the loan to Great Britain. Helen Smith believes that the British Loan is an investment in perpetuating the system of world trade.
