Training Defense Workers

We finally get there, but sometimes mighty darn late.

The house last week, by unanimous vote, approved a joint resolution for an additional appropriation of $9,500,000 for training defense workers under the department of education.

In 1937, the house passed a bill for apprentice training, but the bill was sabotaged through niggardly appropriations. Appropriation for the first year was $60,000, just about enough for paying the salaries of the stenogs in a decent-sized office.

We are now beginning to realize what trained workers mean to a nation-to national defense. You can be sure that Hitler would have made better use of that bill.
