COMMITTEE ON MILITARY AFFAIRS
April 8, 1933
My dear Mother:
I have been very amused to receive yours of the
6th, and am grateful to you for your love, as well
as the beans. They have not arrived yet, of course,
but will do so, no doubt, in due time. I am look-
ing forward to them.
We are at work on the Emergency Farm Mortgage Act,
and I do not know where it will land us. I have to
admit that I am very apprehensive of the arbitrary
powers which are being placed in the hands of one
man. Last night I heard that the President was
going to cut off agricultural colleges, extension
service, and industrial education. That would be
a real blow at the citizenship of this Country when
we seem to need the education and training in sta-
bility which these activities give. I am going
to try to head the thing off, and I am sure to have
a tremendous backing in the effort.
Love from us both.
Your affectionate son,
Warren
Mrs. C. G. Austin,
