' Financial statement filed with the iier oi tne House snow that 170 or- ganizations have spent $1634,757 : during the first three months of 1948. The organization which has spent the most money is the citizens commit tee on displaced persons, which has pent ?i4,tU8 in promoting legisla tion designed to admit DPs into this ; country. . ... ;. ' Lobbying is very" often denounced but it is generally recognized as a perxecuy legitimate activity under the constitutional right of petition; What has caused most of the denunciation is the fact that lobbyists have done their work in secret, without reveal ing the true nature of their interest in legislation. 4, . , Admits Defense' Requests Are On A Budget Basis . ' it a ATI 1ttfYrAcrtfnr MMfAloisiM 4-1 a 4- i comes from James V..Forreatal, Sec retary of Defense, that he limits the amount which he asks for militamr rearmament because Congress is not i in i it nil j h.k a : - j. 1 which are necessary to prevent dan gerous ranauon. Mr. Forrestal says, that the United States has to choose between military and economic risks. - He seeks to ' nrotect the coffiitrv hut it . sary to do so in a manner that does uvi viiuse ne country to go oust nrst Deiore it is armed. M The ' Secretary of Defense admits tnat ne does not dare ask for crraf Ar avnoncinm 1 forces because he fears the inflation ary effect of additional expenditures. He admits that if ConoreM were prepared to approve controls to put tne nation on a regulated economy tne situation would be different, ' It' should he nnto ho V.

This, the Congress, it is presumed, is ready to approve- What is not gen erally Known is that the chief s-of staff of tha Armv.Ai Force and Navy are each convinced that the pro posed program falls short of their respective needs. General Bradlev wanta 47.000 nri, ditional men for the Army. General Spaatz wants 49,000 additional for the Air- Force and Admiral Denfeld says that the Navy needs 116,000 more sailors, bach will be Allowed to ask Conzress for what he thinks bin service needs, but the Secretarv nf Defense points out that the military leaders are not bound to consider the economic implications of the expendi tures but, as the civilian defense chief, he must consider how much the domestic economy can stand without controls. Lend-Lease In Peace To Help Anti-Communist Bloc President Truman recentlv declared in his message to Congress that the united spates would, oy appropriate means, extend . the free nations of Western Europe the support which the situation requires. There has been, since the message. some talk of a new lend-lease pro gram, designed to. strengthen the military power oi the free European nations. Nothing' definite has come out officially, but it is generally be lieved that important conferences are underway in an effort to set up a bi partisan program. The neonle of this country should not lose sight; of the great potential strenirth of the free Eurnneen notmno The West-European Union alone em braces 103,000,000 highly industrial ized People and the combined nnnn- lation of the countries Barticinah'nir in the Recovery Program exceeds ZZ5,U0U,000. This 4s a seirmenr. nf the wnrM'i population which can become valuable neienoers or the democratic way of Hie. both in the form of a-overnment. and in the form of economic assist ance. At present, their military plan ning is somewhat handicapped he cause the combined forces which thpv can muster are not yet able to ma neuver as a properly balanced mili tary force. In addition, because of the eco nomic strintrencv. thev face errant difficulty in considering the expendi tures which would he TieCeKflArV ' tft euip their forces for,' effective use. Ubviously, a lend-lease program in tne United states would 'overcome this last difficulty. House vemand For Letter May Lead To Bitter Fight Something new in the crovernmen- tal experience of the United States is the 300-29 vote bv which the l8Pwn eiectn House of RenreaenfehVoo w.H.fK(lffltt hOurs but ordered the Secretary of Commerce to produce a part of the confidential loyalty nie of Dr. Edward U.

The accusation was hnaeW. in part, on a letter from the FBI to tne (secretary of Commerce, referrinsr to an inquiry into the associations of tne Doctor.

This Was the situation when the House of Kepresentatives took its ex traordinary action By such an over whelming vote. There is no known precedent for such a situation. While the resolution did not seek the nn. currence oi the Senate and did not seek to compel the President to com ply, it merely, directed the Secretary oi commerce to transmit the letter.
