Washington. Feb. 12?While Uiej'
lease-lend bill proceeded through j.
debate in the house of representa- ,
tives, the senate has been continuing ;
its public hearings which will con- ! (
elude with the testimony of Wendell! j
L. Willkie upon his return from ,
England. There is little doubt here |
as to what line his testimony will (
take. ,
Both preceding and during his I
trip abroad, Mr. Willkie took his s
stand for the bill and has been con- <
stantiy tirging its passage with a <
few minor amendments which have i |
already been adopted by the Demo- ;
crats iii the house. The only doubt |:
that exists is as to just how the: I
public which voted for him in the c
past election will react to his state- ;

He favored conscription last
rear, when the Republicans were
desperately trying to organize an
ppposition to block passage. He disrarded
the non-committal and obriously
compromise platform of the
party and campaigned, as far as foreign
policy was concerned, on an aid
.o Britain plank. He has repeatedly
lrged unity on this question, while
members of his party have balked
ind refused to go along.
Strictly Partisan Vole
The house has resolved itself more
pr less along partisan lines on the
ssues of the bill which Mr. Willkic
prges to be passed?the Republicans
ining up against it. and the Demoprats
for it. This party division on
vhat has been publicised as a nonpartisan
issue is more readily understood
when the fact is taken into
ponsideration that most isolationist
districts returned Republican congressmen.
An attempt at unity on the whole
subject was made by the administration
when two meetings of lead?rs
of both parties were held in an
ittempt to iron out differences. The
first was a capitol conference to
r>rsailize hrnnnsnlc . am? thp cor?r?n/-J
.vas a meeting at the White House
vhich was attended by the minority
eaders, Senators Charles McNary of
3regon. and Representative Joseph
Ifartin of Massachusetts, and loaders
of the Democratic party.
That the attempt failed was evidenced
by Mr. Martin's outspoken
ipposition to the bill as it appeared
rom the house foreign affairs committee.
and Senator McNary's organization
of opposition in the senitc.
Now. tinity on the subject of
iid to Britain seems as far away as
ver. Both parties are more or less
n agreement as to the ends to be
ichieved, but are diametrically opicsed
as to the methods to be used.
While the Republicans lost in the
louse, they are far from convinced
hat the bill cannot be radically aler>.
:i in the senate. Here. Senator
-IcNary will do most of his work bound
the scenes while Senator
V heel or cf Montana will lead the
ipposition on the floor. Informed
junrters are still predicting, liow ver,
that the bill will pass about
he middle or end of March?and

they have complied with insiruc- n
tions in connection wiih "Pre- u

Defense Slowup c1
Our own armament program, aft- b
er showing surprising vigor during tc
the closing months of the past year, >r
is slowing up, due to strikes, bottle- ::
necks and difficulties of supply and C
transportation. Preventive legislation
is being discussed, but official '<
quarters are reticent to recommend al
a speed-up by force of law and ''
would ratl.er continue with "moral li
persuasion." 'I
The news from the army, too, is
far from encouraging. 240.000 men '
were expected to be in the army by "
this time, and while congressional "
circles arc talking of an army of 2.- it
000.000 by the end of the year, they f<
are faced with the fact that only J'1
100.000 trainees have thus far been IT
called into service. 111
Selective service officials report =
that they can now supply the army 6i
with 2.500.000 men within ten days,
but bottlenecks are cropping up ev- \
erywhere. Delay in construction of N
cantonments, caused by the unex- B
pecledly late passage of draft legislation
last year, is said at army jr
headquarters to be responsible for s(
delay in mast eases. In other quar- 1ters,
the blame is put on lumber j?
strikes, lumber profiteering, laoor jc
shortages. restrictive labor practices si
and outright bungling in the war _
department. At army headquarters
it is insisted, nevertheless, that G06.000
trainees will be in service by
July 1, and that the difficulties are j1
only temporary and will soon be *
overcome. 3

JESUS TEACHES FORGIVENESS
AND GRATITUDE
csson for February 16: Luke 17:-4;
11:19; Golden Text: Eph. 4:32
It is a terrible thing to cause one
3 stumble, as Jesus indicated in the
irst passage of the lesson text, but
orgiveness should be extended to
he offender, and to all offenders.
Jesus says an injured man should
ebuke an offender. Often he silently
esents the wrong. Many a breach
light be closed if men would have
"heart-to-heart talk.'' If the ofendcr
repents, he should be foriven.
even "seven times in the day."
/hen Jesus said a man should fcrive
until "seventy times seven" he
leant that forgiveness should be
nlimited- And well may it be, for
iod will not forgive an unforgiving
ian. An unforgiving spirit in the
eart is dangerous. It is like the
ire that smouldered in thi hold of j
ship that years ago sailed from
few Orleans?to break out. in tie- j
ouring flames. Would you, shut .
cavep.'s door in your own face by '
losing your heart against others? ;
Among the ten lepers who were [
Icansed, only one forgot everybody j
ut his benefactor and turned back I
> thank Jesus. "And he was a Sa- j
larican. uesus rcmarKoci in al only ;
stronger'' turned back to give j
bd thanks.
The lesson deals with two things j
