affected the main purpose. 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. A larv*
