He implied the Senate had not been informed of such plans. Senator Edward Burke (D. Neb.) read him testimony taken July 12 in the Senate Military Affairs Committee stating this plan would be followed, 1:40. Mr. Wiley resumes reading his speech. 1:47. Mr. Wiley finishes, The Senate is nearly empty and there is a call for a quorum. : 1:55. A quorum is counted. Senator Gerald P. Nye (R. N. D), starts reading a prepared speech against the bill. He reads very slowly, He begins by saying he doubts the existence of a Hitler fifth column in the United States. 2:45. The Senators fond of baseball disappear from the chamber, Chicago is playing at Washington. 3:00. Mr. Nye reads, among other things, a speech delivered in the Senate the day before by another opponent of conscription: there are eight Senators present, only part of them are listening. 3:40. Senator Ernest Lundeen (F.-L. Minn.), another opponent, in terrupts to read an article charging that many prominent Britishers don't want Hitler beaten. > 3:48. Mr. Nye quotes Ethan Allen as follows: “It takes a week to . <

teach a soldier how to fight.” Senator Nye, taking cognizance of a lapse of time since Ethan Allen's day, estimates it may take several weeks now to train a man to fight—at most three months.

150. Senator Danaher, an opponent, breaks into the speech to say he has decided the bill might enable the President to conscript men for industrial work as well as military training. Senators Henry F. Ashurst (D, Ariz) and Henry Cabot Lodge (R. Mass.) get into the debate, Mr. Lodge mentioned the pending amendment—which he sponsors—put there was no attempt to ask for a vote on it. 4:10. Senator Scott W. Lucas (D. Ill) returns to the Senate after two weeks with the Illinois National Guards and finds the debate, in which he participated before he left, still going on. 4:15. Mr. Nye is reading again, Four opponents, Senators Hiram Johnson (R. Cal), Bennett Champ Clark (D. Meo.), Rush Holt (D, W, Va.) and Homer T. Bone (D. Wash.) hold a caucus on the floor, 4:18. Mr. Nye reads Daniel Webster's remarks against conscription delivered during the War of 1812, It is at least the fourth time they have been read in this debate. This concludes his speech. 4:24 Senator Charles W. Tobey (R. N. H) offers a resolution for Investigation of communications. . 4:25.
