VINSON TOUCHES
OFF OPPOSITION
TO BRITISH LOAN
WASHINGTON, March 5.—(U.R)
— Secretary of Treasury Fred M.
Vinson Tuesday touched off sharp
Senate opposition to the proposed
$3,750,000,000-(B) British loan.
Vinson contended that failure to
provide the credit would drive Bri.
tain and the United States into
economic warfare.
His testimony opening hearing
on the loan by the Home Banking
Committee brought heated objec
tion from Sens. Robert A. Taft, R.,
O., Abe Murdock, D„ Utah and
other committee members.
Taft repeatedly objected to Vin
son’s assertions that failure t0 ap
prove the loan would be ‘catostro.
phic” and choke-off this nation’s
foreign trade.
Taft argued that British restric
tive trade practices could not limit
U. S. world exports, that such ex
ports depended entirely on the
amount of goods this country is
willing to import from abroad.
Murdock objected t0 Vinson’s ar.
gument that Britain would be
driven to a restrictive trade war
if the loan is not granted.
‘If Britain Is so powerful that
sue can uo mis i aon t want to
enhance that power,” he said.
Vinson argued that the loan rep.
resented alternatives of economic
warfare or “a genuine chance for
peace.” Reported objections to
this statement prevented the secre
| tary from completing his prepared
testimony and he was asked to re
appear before the committee to
morrow for further questioning.
