Dear President: Your tax veto I consider was very mild in view of the present Congress' childish, contrary action for the past ten years. This Congress' behavior bears out Mark Twain's estimate of the Cluster of Glad Handers who were in power during his time, and I think the present Congress has deteriorated since then. Mark wrote that as a reporter he served two terms in the House and one in the Senate, and came to know in- timately the smallest minds, the selfishest souls and the cowardliest hearts that God makes. I am enclosing under this cover a pamph- let describing a Congressman who was very active in this body not so very long ago. Should you get a spare moment sometime, I think you can get a laugh by reading the last chapter on page 41. Knowing that you will go down in history with Lincoln and hoping that you put over the Four Freedoms and live as long as you want to, I am Sincerely yours, H.M. Quediet F. M.

Said they didn't find an easy solution because the U.S.A. is a federal state and must (1) maintain the freedom of the states and (2) keep the whole system sufficiently elastic to meet changing conditions. As a result they came to the conclusion that the solu- tion is administrative and cooperational, celling for the creation of a joint Federal- State advisory tax board. --- The President wrote to Mr. Gulick, 3-22-44 seying it is a mighty interesting study as he has found in a ten minute check-up, and it is going to be much used in the days to come. --- The book, entitled "Federal, State and Local Government Fiscal Relations", was put in bookcase in the President's office.

Dear Miss Le Hand, How are you? I trust fit and well. I thought that the President might like to have a copy of my new book "The Redwoods". The King graciously accepted a copy and said that he and the Queen were much interested by the reference to their visit to the United States. I have referred to the President more than once, and the por- trait of himself which he so kindly presented to me is reproduced together with a photo of the King and the CCC. The President may be interested to know that a plan I have pro- posed for land reclamation and re-afforestation in England, based on the CCC came up for discussion in the House of Lords during the past week, and I am in high hopes that a progressive programme may be carried out in England after the war. We of the Men of the Trees are sponsoring a proposal to establish a Forest of Thankfulness, and that therein shall grow the hardwood trees of the kinds used to build the big and little ships which saved us and the whole world from an era of slavery, shame and sorrow, and in true thankful- ness this forest will be called "Dunkirk". It is hoped that suitable area for this purpose will be made available in Kent, the coast line of which witnessed the amazing Armada which effected that miraculous deliverance.

Dr. Cooke writes from his advance base: "Dear Friends in the Church: I recently baptized a man and received him into the Church of Christ in the Gener- al Council of Congregational Christian Churches. The event marked the first use of our new altar, made of plywood and finished with mahogany stain. The Church of Christ is for service men and Congregational Christian Chaplains are associate ministers. "The February service of baptism and the Fellowship Supper are two of many church events which have entered into my experience. I send greetings to the parents who had their children baptized. I have been deeply interested in Fellowship Suppers through the years. On these occasions we have had speakers from Africa, China, India, Syria and Turkey, and the United States. "I entered the Lenten season with you. The preaching emphasis here is on the Cross. Our Communion of the first Sunday in March was closely associated with your Communion. As we observe Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday (with its blessed Communion), Good Friday and Easter, the home church will be at the center of my thoughts. Iserve men living here, men from ships, men from all parts of the United States. We appreciate these men, who are giving much up and giving all. ACE "I am with you every Sunday, from prelude to postlude and exchange of m to be go friendly greetings. The Sunday calendar arrives regularly. Having written it e receipt < for sixteen years, I welcome it as a friend. God's blessing on all of you, and se. thanks for your messages from home!" Dr. Cooke's address is: Lt. Francis T.

There will be envelopes in the pews on April9 and 16 for the Congregation. al Christian Committee for War Victims and Services, the agency responsible for raising all the war emergency funds of our denomination. One of the relief ser- vices is assisting the 375 Congregational Christian Chaplains in this country, on transport duty, and overseas in their work with service men and women; making possible contact with home churches, providing communion sets and religious literature, and a variety of needed articles as well as small emergency allowances. As Christians, we have a particular obligation to support this emergency work which the churches have setup for spiritual ministry, physical relief, and Christian service.
