Scope and Contents

Mrs. Allen wrote to Rep. George Schwabe asking how he plans to vote on the proposed British loan. Schwabe explains in his response that he is opposed to the loan, as are his constituents, due to concerns about depleting resources and the New Deal's policies. He believes that giving loans to foreign countries is not in the best interest of the American people. Schwabe values the opinions of his constituents and intends to vote against the loan based on their overwhelming opposition.
