But they are detwmjhed to resist any major curtailment-i»—ttie powers proposed for the president, insisting that he must be given a free hand to act swiftly during a crisis which may change in “twenty-four hours.’’ The irdministration may have to give in, a~great deal before it is over, i It may have to strike out the “naval- repair’’ part of the bill, and con ceivably might be forced to accept a statutory limitation on the amount of money that could be devoted to the purpose of aiding Britain, but the feeling here is that the bill will pass wjth it§. maj or. provisions intact. In the meantime, official efforts are being made to hamper the dicta tor powers in every way possible. A treasury drafted executive order which will freeze all foreign assets in the United States has gone to the White House. Such an order will halt the present free flow of German, Italian and Japanese funds in and out of the United States in the same way that a previous order has pre vented the use of funds* of occupied countries. Although it will tie up British {funds also, a provision of the order enables a country to withdraw its funds as long as it is within the in terest of the United States for it to do so. Fear of this step has caused recent heavy withdrawals of Swiss and German currency from the country. Our own rearmament program was speeded up as House leaders ar ranged to give speedy consideration to President Roosevelt^request for $350,000,000 to constrtfct 200 cargo vessels. The house’ appropriations subcommittee approved the measure almost immediately and Chairman Clifton A. Woodrum plans to ask immediate congressional consider ation as soon as the navy’s new $1,209,000,000 appropriation is dis posed of. Moving At Rapid Rate The whole armament program is moving along at an ever more rapid rate. John D. Biggers, director of the new production division of the defense agency, announced that 799 military airplanes were built in De cember, surpassing the moft optimis tic of estimates by 100 per cent. He also announced that January produc tion would exceed December’s con siderably, and I that production of iighl 4anks—dd—now almost' five months ahead of schedule. Yet with all these public and pri vate efforts to meet the threat of a dictator-controUed world, there ia still 1^ effort to maintain normal re lations with the Axis powers.
