Release of Fathers from Service: A Plea for Compassion and Action, 1946-04-01

The letter is from George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, responding to a request regarding the release of fathers from military service. He explains that legally the war is not officially over, and the President has not issued a proclamation to end it. Schwabe has introduced a bill in Congress to release these fathers, but faces opposition from the New Deal crowd and military authorities. He expresses sympathy for the hardships faced by families of servicemen and acknowledges the importance of bringing fathers back home.
