First major fight in Iowa Senate over dependent children aid bill
Des Moines Feb 6 UP The Iowa Senate opened its first major controversy of the session as Sen George R Faul proposed a dependent children aid bill to cost 400000 yearly, matched by counties and the federal government. It would pay up to 18 dollars a month for one child and 12 for each additional child up to 16, plus a 100 burial fund, replacing the widow’s pension.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the administration’s British aid bill would weaken American defenses and may invite invasion of the United States. He argued England cannot win the war, that depleting U.S. forces would risk surrender, and endorsed a negotiated peace over total victory by either side. He warned the bill places U.S. security in foreign arms success and diminishes national power.
