Read Sen. Vanderbergs reply to Lawrence on
back page of your Washington paper-
United States Senate
Washington
July 12, 1939
My Dear Mother:
Mrs. Buel has been
with us since
Mildred returned.
She is a pleasant and interesting
guest.
The President had a jolt
yesterday by the vote 12-
11 of Foreign Relations Com.
to postpone action on Neutrality.
It shows what a bad
actor he is, for many
who voted against action
would have preferred to
repeal the neutrality act
if the President had been
less ambitious personally.
My own position, you know
from my Chicago speech-
Even now, in spite of my
feelings about Roosevelt,
I would vote to repeal
the embargoes provisions
and give our attitude
the effect of being for
peace and against any
aggressor who should
start war-
Best love,
Warren
