 "'Can it be said that we will be post pOning the final decision if we do not attack at once? Are there not ways of crushing our adversaries?

! WASHINGTON. March 20.-Consid- eration of the war finance corporation bill was completed tonight by the house after all efforts to effect chang es not acceptable to the ways and means committee had failed. Agree ment was reached to take final vote when the house convenes at noon to- morrow. Majority Leader Kitchin an- nounced he did not expect more than thirty votes against the measure.
 Mir Kitchin today offered an amend ment which he said would have ten dency to stabilize the value of the Am erican dollar in foreign countries and it was quickly passed without a record vote. It provides that a part of bonds of the proposed corporation shall be issued in denominations of foreign money for sale in those countries at the discretion of the directors.

There has been a great rafting OF drv
bones in the House Of Representatives
recently over q bill TO permit the erection
in Washington Of a statue of James
Buchanan As the statue is TO be gift Of
Buchanan's collateral descendants and the
government is merely asked 10 provide a
site for it, the objection made to the
project savors Of peevish cliscomtesy as
well as mossback bigotry. Why blackball

canS2
Buchanan was not a great President,
but he was conspicuous public func-
tionary in the middle period Of the Re
public lie lasted through the era, and
was perhaps better representative Of it
than a great many others. Throughout
his career he was ranged as q Northern
man with Southern principles. But in
that respect he was not different from
Lewis Cass or Stephen A. Douglas or
host Of other Northern Democratic
leaders. After all, as "Uncle Joe" Can
non wisely said in the House the other

and policies Of a majority of Americans
