- Description:
- The document from Mr. Whittington expresses support for Representative Schwabe's opposition to giving loans or gifts to Great Britain, as well as support for the terminal leave pay bill for enlisted men. Mr. Whittington also advocates for fair treatment and support for veterans, including cash terminal leave pay and tax exemptions. He criticizes the government for giving money to other countries and increasing salaries for politicians, while neglecting the needs of the military. He urges Representative Schwabe to support measures that will give veterans a chance to settle and establish themselves in a post-war world.
