As debated by T. V. Smith Former Congressman from Mlinois MR. SMITH OPENS: I believe Con- gress is doing all any Congress can do in wartime. Congress cannot be responsible for leadership. More than five hundred exhibitionists, orators, ‘and egoists tend, when they lead, to lead us In all directions with great noise. When we want quiet, direct action, it pays to remember that re- sponsibility has its quality no less than its quantity. Congress, I'm sure, honors its responsibility more in do- ing less better rather than in doing more worse. Congress gets more done, I think, by prodding Presidential inaction and by criticizing executive and judicial misaction, than''by undertaking any heroic action itself. All talk is a sort of a temporary filibuster against en- credit to Congress. credit must come from its fupction. Congress is composed, under the Constitution, for criticism and compromise, that dou- ble dose of duty is a man-size job! Let Congress do whatever it can do well. Its effective power limits its responsibility. The question put here is two-fold. First, can Congress co- operate closely with the President who must lead us in war and take the initiative in peace; secondly, can Congress adopt, then actually imple- ment, such proposals for streamlining as have been made. MR. THOMAS CHALLENGES: Must Congress follow and never lead? Congress had no opportunity for “criticizing” and “prodding” in the framing of the Atlantic Charter! The making of the peace will affect the whole people. Therefore, it is the duty of Congress ngw to assume more resgPnsibility in the making of the pe I fear a! tong executive- insgred armistice, which, however well intended leads”to- dictatorship, at lime, costly policing of the world, mo@#ting resentment among the po-. and increasing rivalries among ictors.

SMITH REPLIES: Corfgress is fnvestigating and discussing openly plans and proposals every day of every week of every month of every year. A look through the Congres- sional Record will prove that. There is not a movement in this nation sponsored by anyone, including my opponent's, that isn't debated day after day in both Houses of Congress. This. isthe continuous, normal, chronic, magnificent performance our public servants render us. Congress doesn’t need more responsibility. It §s doing a magnificent job for what woit Norman Thomas Chairman, Executive Committee Post War World Council MR. THOMAS OPENS: A Congress which cannot or will not perform its own proper duties degenerates in it- self and in public estimation. This means a decline in democracy. Con- gress betrays democracy when it turns over its proper functions to the executive. Congress has signed toe many blank checks. That road leads to personal authoritarian gov- ernment and dictatorship! Congress should assume greater responsibility for the prosecution of the war, for the winning of the peace, and engage far more , than it has, in domestic and foreign affairs. Congress, should extend, aystematize and coordinate its functions of inves- tigation. The work of committees valuable in bringing constructive criticism to bear. Committees should not overlap, tread on each other’s toes, scatter their fire and consume the valuable time of important men needlessly. The failure of Congress to have a Proper joint committee on peace and post-war planning threatens us with a worse disaster than that which fol- lowed World War L In no way would this valuable function of Congress interfere with the President's treaty- making powers. In no other way are we to be saved from an imperialistic peace! MR. SMITH CHALLENGES: Mr. Thomas seems to forget that the Sen- ate and the House both have Foreign Affairs Committees.
