It notes ship-building progress, criticizes delays, and critiques senators Bone and La Follette for their wartime votes, arguing their stance would have left America underprepared.
Senator Dennis Chavez criticized conditions in New Mexico alleging racial discrimination against Spanish American descent in labor and highway contracting.
