Mr.. Roosevelt Is as resolutely op-
posed as ever to sending American
youth to bleed on European battle
fields. But there's no indication he
would withhold from the allies any
thing we have, short of manpower
and Treasury funds. The Presi-
dent seems plainly to hint his readi-
ness to grant Britain and France,
through non-G Government channels,
access to American capital credits,
to our facilities for manufacturing
airplanes and munitions, and to our
farms, plantations and packing
plants for foodstuffs and raw ma
terials of all kinds. Remaining
Anglo French assets for purchase of
American war supplies do not ex-
ceed 5000, GOO, 900 to 10000 600, 900.

mate that these will be exhausted

Even to draw on American private

require the sanction of Congress by
amendment Of both the johnson and

Financial World of New York, "agi-

In the isolationist agricultural mid
west. which has been keenly dis
appointed at the lack OF export de-
mand for farm products. Several
