WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-There
will be a healthy fight, either in this
congress or the next, when the at
tempt is made to repeal OF modify
the johnson act SO as to permit U.
S. loans to Great Britain.
Senator Hiram Johnson ct Cali
fornia. bitter isolationist since
1920 and author of the act which
bars loans to foreign nations which
are in default on their DEBT pay
ments, is perfectly clear on tins
point.
I'm going to fight any such pro-
posal. even if I have to fight all
alone" says johnson. "Thereu be
one vote to keep the johnson act,
no matter what anybody else does.
Johnson has no idea what sort
o1 strategy the aid-the- British
group will attempt. and he isn't
greatly interested. He doesn't be-
lieve that the general public VIII
support the attempt to knock the
act down. but he refuses to guess
how the senate will finally vote.
I'm too old a man in this busl-
ness to count any votes until
they're cast" he says.
NYE WOULD
WELCOME FIGHT
Another isolationist leader, Sena-
tor Gerald Nye of North Dakota,
is inclined to welcome a showdown
fight over the Johnson act.
1T may work out that we can
hang the whcle fight for genuine
neutrality on this one issue" he
SAYS. You see. the administration
can hedge on most of the neutral
itv laws. There are too many ways
to gel around them-the destroyer
deal. fer instance. But there's no
wav to get around the johnson act.
Its too clear cut. You either obey
II or you don't.
So they'll have to fight it out. I
expect they'll go for straight-out

repeal. instead of for amendments
of any kind. I think the public is
going to be pretty much aroused
bv it. and 1 think we can beat
them on it"
The iSolationists have not yet
cot to the point Of planning their
Strategy in the fight Nye expects
Johnson TO lead the fight, and
both men expect that Senator
Claude Pepper Of Florida will carry
the banner for the repealers.
WHITE COMMITTEE
PROCEEDS CAUTIOUSLY
Meanwhile. the administration
group is not yet certain just what
it does want. The William Allen
White committee has been cau-
tiouSly sounding out house and
senate sentiment on the proposi-
ton, but has not yet launched a
regular campaign,
It may be significant that one
of the committees most recent pub
lications-a pamphlet entitled Bat
tie of America" by Livingston
Hartley-Suggest revision of the
Neutrality act SO as to allow both
British purchases on a credit basis
and transportation TO Britain of
the purchased goods on American
vessels. 1t adds: we may have
to become a acknowledgement instead
of a neutral. We may have to do
things unthought of now to help
Britain win
One suggestion now being dis
cussed in congress is that instead
of amending the Johnson act,
congress simply go ahead and can
eel the British debt to this country
which would automatically restore
British eligibility to government
loans although the Neutrality act
itself. unless amended, would still
prohibit the sale OF British bonds
in America or any loans or eXten-
sion of credit by private citizens.
