Washington, Jan. 16.—(AP)— President Roosevelt told Congress today that an extension of credit to Finland "as this time does not in any way constitute or threaten any so-called 'involvement' in European wars." In identical letters to Vice-Presi dent Garner and Speaker Bankhead, the chief executive also declared that the matter of giving Finland credit and the amount was wholly within the jurisdiction of Congress. Mr. Roosevelt said it seemed to him the most reasonable approach to the problem of credits would be lor Congress to authorize an in crease in the revolving credit fund of the Export-Import Bank, and authorize the Reconstruction Fi nance Coipcration to buy loans and securities from the bank "to enable it to finance exportation of agricul tural surpluses and manufactured products not including implements of war."'
