the lack of actual production of iSlfo
and airpliines. “You can’t stop Hitler
iwith talk,” he-asserted. He said the
national defense commission hasn’t
authority to take over a single plant
for production of armament. He stat
ed that had he been a member of
congress he would have introduced a
bill to take over the Ford Motor
company when Ford refused to take
a recent contract for building air
plane motors.
Evans said he is not worried about
Hitler coming over here, but what
worries him is the possibility of the
United States losing its last remain
ing iparket. South America, to the
totalitarian governments. When that
happens, it wilk bring bread lines to
Clinton and Laurens county, he said.
He criticized Bryson for “pairing”
his votes on the alien and espionage
bills when they came up for vote in
congress. He said that pairing a vote
means one of three things: Lack of
courage to vote on the issue; member
wasn’t there; member against the
bill but didn’t want it to show in the
record.
He chided Bryson for not making
up his mind what to do about the
compulsory military training bill be
cause it “had hot been introduced Ih
congress,” according to a purported
statement by Bryson made in a
newspaper interview. As a matter
of fact, Evans said, it bad been in
troduce three week$ previously.
Bryson was not a member of any
congressional committee that had
anything to do with national defense,
he said.
Asserting that he had been a war
correspondent in Germany previous
to the entry of the United States into
the war in 1917, he said he enlisted
within 24 hours after war was de
clared and that he was transferred
to an officers’ training camp, where
a shell exploded and injured his ear.
Evans accused Bryson of being in
the district when he claimed to have
been in Washington and was afraid
to go before the voters at speaking
engagements.
