C. y THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1941 Number 3S * f . , Washington, Jan. took time out for a While zm* 27.—Congress deep breath the President and Vice- t were being inaugurated plunged right back into the for and against HR 1776, the Lend-lease bill which give the President the right “sell, transfer, exchange, lease, or otherwise dispose of’* any de fense article which the President may deem advisable to transfer to another nation. And to permit ships to be repaired in our ambassador, Joseph r, gave the opposition a to offset Wendell Willkie's startling indorsement of the bill by making a nation-wide radio speech in which he urged that a less drastic measure be written, on the ground that the danger was not immediate enough to justify what he called “this sur render of the authority and re sponsibility of the Congress.” Kennedy Created Stir Even before he testified before the House Committee holding hearings on the bill, his speech had been denounced and applaud ed by» leaders on both sides of the .issue. Representative Hamilton Fish of . New York, Republican member of the committee, at whose request Kennedy appeared, had already endorsed the* speech, while Chairman Sol Bloom, Demo crat, commented: “Just / another ostrich speech with his head deep in the sands of unreality. And I ‘ * to take the advice of Morgenthau, Stimson and Knox, and Mr. Knud- sen, and above all, that of Frank lin Delano Roosevelt.” Over the strenuous opposition and ‘ constant denouncement of those favoring the President’s bill, Mr. Fish and his supporters on the committee called an imposing array of witnesses which included Norman Thomas, Socialist candi date for President; Hanford Mac- Nider, former Ambassador to Can ada; Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and General Hugh S. Johnson. Mr. Fish intended to summon Wendell L. Willkie, also, but his trip to Europe forestalled his ap pearance. With so much excitement about the hearings of the House Foreign Relations Committee, the opening of Senate hearings on Friday were almost forgotten, but starting with the same parade of witnesses as appeared before the House, the Senate hearings promise plenty of fireworks before they are over. It is here that the voice of Senator Wheeler may make itself felt most. He, at least, is in no mood for compromise, and demands outright rejection of the bill. Administration May Give In A distinct impression has been given out by Administration forces that they would not fight a two- year time limit on the bill ■ and might yield on other points which they did not feel affected the main purpose. But they are de termined to resist any major cur tailment in the 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 Administration may have to give in a great deal before it is over. It may have to strike out the “Naval-repair” part of the bill, and conceivably might oe forced to ^accept a statutory limi tation on the. amount of money that could be devoted to the pur pose of aiding Britain, but the feeling here is that the bill will pass with its major provisions in tact. In the meantime, official efforts are being made to hamper the dictator powers in every way pos sible. A treasury drafted execu- L. M.

Such an order will halt the pres ent free flow of German, Italian and Japanese funds in and out of the United States in the same way that a previous order has prevented the use of funds of oc cupied countries. Although it will tie up British funds also, a provision of the order enables a country to with draw its funds as long as it is within the interest 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 arranged to give speedy considera tion to President Roosevelt’s re quest for $350,000,000 to construct 200 cargo vessels.

Yet with all these public and private efforts to meet the threat of a Dictator controlled world, there is still an effort to maintain lormal relations with the Axis powers.

An au thorized German spokesman in Berlirt declared that this incident has “created a very bad impres sion in Berlin” and that “there should be an apology.” Immediately, the United States, government formally expressed its! regrets and promised a thorough; investigation of the incident would be made. j You have heard quite a bit about the “better-farm-living” program that was launched in 1940.
