Last weak, for example, one could find almost, any **p^nfr>T> , on Aft sub-j jeet* The United States News came forth... with the positive statement that the President would not "choose to run." His attitude, it was explained, expressed a per sonal preference but would _ not does the door to an overwhelming (haft of his service* if circumstances seemed to warrant such action. By contrast, Arthur Kroek, head of The New York Times, Burma, stated that the majority of thoee in Washington "believe Mr. B?mlt i* <kfi*iteiy ?peeeevering far rrnciwetian, what eeer the turn of.rati", Obdoudy, the reader can take bis choice. Congress continue* to move slowly ia the handling of nu^or national ia jpca. Having passed the AntMynch ing BUI, the House leaden fire in creasing attention to the problem of effecting economy, hoping to bold the funds appropriated to die $8, 434,000,000 included in the budget estimate, Una is in the face of declarations by farm groups that the sum proposed for farm benefits is apt enough and a drive on the part of a large group to increase the amount available for rivers and har bors work, which includes flood con trol projects and various undertak ings designed to improve navigation, jfhis is handled by the Army Eugir*, naars, one of the groupe which exert fteSt power in Congress, and wiH.be supported by the national pressure fives cities and tswqp that expert to benefit by the improvements^ While economy sentiment seems be strong just now, this does not mean that the final appropriaion fi gures of Congress will be within die budget figures. In fact, aa the see aioa goes on, the demand for larger appropriations will become more vociferous, the date of the fall elec tions will approach closer and con gTHmniiin, U ww.mistake not, will do aa tear hero usually dona This vor will be followed by appropriations which, for various reasons, w31 be ample.

In this connection, considerable in terest bee been created by a letter, written by farmer Secretary of State i Heney L. Stimaon, urging Congress to impose an embargo on tzade between Stfaneon, it wfll be remembered, took j the lead in fonrndatinr the American policy of not recognizing territorial , gains acquired by force and in viola tion of treatise to which the United Stafeee is a party. Such, drastic ac tion is not expected immediately, ai though in view of the overwhelming sentiment in this country against Ja panese aggression, it is possible that some of the measures nmy pending before Congress will be brought to a vote. The only thing to prevent audi a vote, in our opinion, is strong pres sure from the President and the State Department, suggesting that such a . course is unwise and that it will in terfere with the policy of the United States in the Far East. Widespread American sympathy for Finland, engaged in the defense of its territory from Russian invasion, It reflected in efforts being made to d$vis* some plan by which to extend financial assistance to that country. .Last week, the President put the question before Congress, suggesting extension of . credit to assist Finland in the purchase of agricultural purv chases and manufactured products, not including implements of war. A loan at thisrtime,.in the President** opinion, would not threaten "involve ment"; in European^ wan. | No specific amount was suggested by the President, who called attention to the right of Congress to put a ceiling on such a loan. In Congress, reaction was varied with some signs ?of opposition on the ground that credit extended to Finland might serve as a wedge for future credits to Great Britain or France. While strong popular support exists for the exten sion of financial assistance to Finland t^ere seems to be difficulty in devis ing a method which will meet pos sible objections in Congress. ? The Finns, through their officials, have made it clear that they need mponey to buy war materials and that, inasmuch as time is important, they would prefer to buy munitions in Eu rope where quick deliverey can be as sured. While the prospects seem to favor a loan to Finland, it seems cer tain that restrictions will be placed around the use of the funds, limiting them to the purchase of supplies other than munitions and implements of war.
