Suggests that Congress Take Initidtive-0th
 Applications Due

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Presi- dent Roosevelt suggests that Con- gress authorize the Export and Inn port Bank to finance nonmilitary credits to Finland and gave assur- ance that such action would not threaten any so-called involvement in the European wars"
 The President made it plain he considered the suggestion a matter which Congress should take the in- itiative.
 President Roosevelt wrote identical letters to Vice-President Garner, President of the Senate, and Speak CT Bankhead, of the House.
 Tt seems the most reasonable ap- proach will be action of Congress in authorizing an increase in the re- volving credit fund of the Export and Import Bank to enable it to finance exportation of agricultural surpluses and manufactured goods, '' wrote the President.
 The President also suggested the question of establishing policy cov- ering other expected loan applica- tions saying this government has already had occasion to consider a number of applications for loans to citizens of small countries abroad, especially Scandinavia and South America"

DISMISSAL OF BRITISH WAR SECRETARY AIRED
 IN LOWER HOUSE TODAY

LONDON. Jan 16.-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain told the. House of Commons today that it was pure invention" to suggest that pressure was brought on him from the British Army to displace War Minister Hore- -Belisha, who was dropped from the Cabinet in the shake-up of January 4.
 The British Prime Minister spoke to packed and frequently cheering House of Commons, gathered to hear both sides in the sensational dis missal of the War Secretary.
 Previously Hore-Belisha declared that he was reluctant to believe" that high Army officers would make representations which led to Cham berlain's decision and he did not believe he was "knifed in the back"
 Discussing his administration, the former British War Secretary said: 'It did not occur to me to consider we were making the British Army to democratic in the fight for de- mocracy. I am reluctant to believe any high officers with whom have been associated have been so un- faithful to the code that imhues the whole army, as to make represen- tations irregularly, or if they have done so, how they. could be coun- tenanced."
 Chamberlain in replying to one question, said: T deny I asked the Secretary of War to take another office on account of prejudice aroused by the fact he is Jew"
 Prime Minister Chamberlain clos ed his statement to the House of Commons with new warning that the war on the Western Front may break with fury at any moment.
 Chamberlain said: Within a few weeks or even a few hours the Hull may be broken by events which will reshape the history of the world. Regardless of when the break comes the Allies are ready for the con- flict."
