ury Houston today made ready 10
defend his course In suspending the
export loan operations OF tho war
finance corporation.

AS both houses prepared 10 rush
through a resolution directing" Sec
rotary Houston to revive the war
finance body's export functions, Hous-
ton laid before Congress the annual
report OF the corporations work last
year. showing. a nong other items
342.023 8+1 In Government funds al
ready outstanding on export loans.
AS chairman OF the corporation,
Secretary Houston revealed that the
export loans remaining due are near
ly half OF the total out standing loans
on November 30 last. His report en-
phssized the reasons for suspending
the export finance features OF that
body's work. Pointing out steadily
exports have increased, giving the
United states top-heavy favorable
trade balance. the Secretary said:
Private interests are not failing
to finance exports. II does not seen
necessary for the Government to in
tervene to stimulate exports. par
ticularly as the Government Is com
PEELED to resort from time to time TO
temporary borrowing in part TO meet
its present obligations.

"In existing circumstances 1t seems
clear that the Government should en-
ter the borrowing field as seldom as
possible, and then for the lowest pos
sible sums. II would be "A question
whether the Government should con-
tinue to aid and stimulate exports,
considering their present volume pri-
vately financed, even II the Treasury
had surplus funds"
Secretary Houston's stand against
using the war finance body az an
agency to relieve>the farmers has di-
vided the Administ ration into hostile
camps. Houston is backed solidiy by
the President and his Cabinet. but Is
opposed by numerous Democrats fro n
Southern and Western States. The

MY first idea would be that the

would permit the Kaiser TO go TO

they might permit him TO go under

at is not thought, however, that
the Kaiser, on account OF the IN
