LOOKING AT WASHINGTON
By Hugo S. Sim Washington Correspondent

JH. R. 1776 TO PASS.
WILLKIE SUPPORTS BILL.
AMONG THE OPPOSITION.
The tumult and the shouting on
Inauguration Dal had hardly died out
in Washington before opponents
and advocates of the Lend-Lease
Hull, Morgenthau, Stimson and
itol Hill. Already Secretaries Hull,
Morgenthau, Stimson and Knox had
apeared before the House Foreign
Affairs Committee and Joseph P.
Kennedy, former Ambassador to
Great Britain, immediately took the
stand to oppose the Administration's
measure "in its present form."
While sharp division of opinion
teks
jsts in the congressional commit-
and .throughout the nation, it
ears reasonably certain that the
bill, without great alterations, will
fcecome law. The House Committee
':Sr overwhelmingly in favor of the
; measure. While the Senate group
includes seven or eight opponents,
the recent appointment of Senator
Byrnes and Glass to vacancies on
the committee wiQl assure a favor
able report to the Upper House.
A factor of considerable import
ance, in connection with legislative
consideration of the measure, is the
almsst unqualified approval of Wen
dell Willkie, Republican candidate
foWPresident in 1940, who suggests

a time limitation but is otherwise
almost all out for aid to Britain
"short of war." Mr. Willkie takes
the position that, if he had been
elected, he would have expected a
grant of power to meet the current
dangers and that, since the people
elected Mr. Roosevelt, opposition to
such a grant should not be based
upon the individual occupying the
White House.
Meanwhile, Mr. Willkie is off to
Great Britain, where he expects to
learn much at first-hand, with the
probability that, upon his return to
this country, he will make a state
ment to the people.
A number of leading Republicans,
however, including Alfred M. Lan
don and former President Hoover,
together with the Isolationist group,
vociferously oppose the bill. That
they represent a considerable minor- j
ity goes without question but that )
they can prevent passage of the biiS
is not generally believed. Notable (

among the former opponents of the j navy," but should the British Isles
President who have endorsed the
measure is Alfred M. Smith, former
Governor of New York.
Secretary HulL in his testimony,
did not believe that the danger "is
any less" than when England was in
danger of invasion last 'September.
He insisted that the Axis power
have taken action in harmony with
their public utterances, insisting
that these statements are not
"braggadocio." Questioned as to
a hostile act against us, he remark
ed that this was said in Holland and
Belgium" and declared that Germany
and Italy have "given us ample
warning of their movement against
us."
Secretary Morgenthau outlined the
situation which confronts Great Bri
tain in regard to dollar exchange,
saying that while the British have
paid for what they have bought, they
are unable to find dollars to pay for
future needs. He said that British
purchases were practically at a
standstill, that there is practically
no gold left in England and that the
British are trying to find buyers for
direct investments in this country.
Secretary Stimson found the na
tion in a more critical period than
it faced in 1917 and pointed, out that
while we have 1,400,000 men, there
is a difference between manpower
and an "army." He expressed full
favor of help to the British in order
to maintain their navy, opposed any
prohibition of the use of the Amer
ican Navy in war zones, saying,
"that would be one of the surest
ways to get into war," and pointed
out that we have an assurance, as
far as it can be given, about the
British Fleet but that no assurance
can be "binding if the Government
changes," which makes it "important
to keep England from going under
He expressed emphatically his ap
prehension as to a possible crisis
"within the next sixty or at least
ninety days."
Secretary Knox presented figures
to show that the United States has
322 naval vessels to 668 to Germany,
Italy and Japan, and said that next
fall "we can only believe that the
British Navy, which never runs away
from danger, will fall at the sam
time." He said it would be "im
possible to conceive a more beautiful
situation for German penetration
than the one South America pre
sents" and said that if German
wins in Europe, the Nazis will have
seven times our shipbuilding ca
pacity.
This is, in brief, something of the
gist of the testimony of the four
members of the Cabinet, all appear
ing in favor of the Lend-Lease pro
posal. Space is not available this
week to present the position of those
testifying against the bill, but in
his column, next week, a similar
resume will be presented..
