1898
his first major crisis after assuming the speakership was world war ii. in the decade prior to the war the united states was isolationist and decided to not participate in the war when war broke out in 1937 in asia and 1939 in europe. rayburn helped pass the lend-lease act in march 1941. this act allowed the u.s. to distribute food, oil, and materiel to the united kingdom, china, and the soviet union. in august 1941 he helped pass the service extension act of 1941. in 1940 a 12-month peacetime draft was instituted by the government to prepare for possible war. the isolationists in the house wanted to not get involved in the war though and wanted to let the peacetime draft expire after 12 months in 1941. what rayburn did is considered legendary now. he talked to all representatives who were anti-draft and tried to persuade them to change their minds. he got it passed by a vote of 203–202, a one-vote margin. if this bill had been defeated the u.s. army stood to lose about two thirds of its strength and three-fourths of the officer corps due to the end of the draft.
