Prof. Collier Urges
Gift Rather Than
Loan 10 Finland
Wouldn't Set Precedent
For Other Nations,
6. W. Club Told

The United States should give, not
lend, money to Finland In her hour
of need, Prof. Charles s. Collier
of the George Washington Univer.
sity Law School faculty, said yester.
day. He spoke in the Interior
Department cafeteria at a luncheon
meeting of the G. w. Interior Club.
composed of alumni and students
OF the university on the pay roll Of
the Interior Department.
1.-The main objection to a loan by
our Government to the government
of Finland depends on considera-
tions of policy" DR.. Collier said.
Zone school of opinion maintains
that such loan will be a first step
that will lead us to loans to England
and France, and then through the
influence of moneyed interests, will
draw us into actual conflict as bel
ligerent in Europe.
"As a protection against this risk,
I wish to offer the suggestion that
the United States should make q
gift of money outright to the gov
ernment of Finland to be used for
any purpose which the government
of Finland may designate, including
the purchase of military supplies.
Couldn't Lead Back.
"An outright gift, unlike loan,
will have no strings attached to 1t
that will lead back to the United
States and form connecting bond
between the center of fighting and
our own country.
But much more important to
emphasize is the point that an out
right gift to Finland could not rea-
sonably be treated as precedent to
loans to England and France.
ITO say nothing of the johnson
Act, which forbids loans to coun-
tries like England and France which
have defaulted on their obligations
to IT,, United States, the point Of
policy that we should not make out
right gifts CT money to England and
France seems so clear that it can
hardly be supposed that there Is a
real political risk that this policy
should be departed from.
Would Not Be Precedent.
The United States can afford to
make a relatively small gift or do
nation because of chivalrous motives
and of special admiration, SO to
speak, for the heroic people Of Fin.
land.
This gift may be absolutely vital
to the welfare of Finland and, in
deed, to the future safety of all the
free nations of Europe. But such
gift would not be a persuasive prece-
dent for gifts to other nations or for
loans to other nations.
1T is hardly imaginable that Eng
land and France would ask for gifts
from us on the expectation that they
might receive the favor that Finland
would have received A gift to Fin
land would be such a special case
that it would obviously not consti-
tute a precedent for action with re-
lation to any of the other European
powers
DR.. Collier criticized isolationists
as the proponents of negative pol
icy indicating their belief rather in
drift" than in mastery" and i'm
plying a "distrust of our own abili-
ties and power to choose our own
course of action"

this basis and President Roose-

assistance to embnttled Baltic
nation arc heing discussed.
BY the Associated Press.
Hjslmar J. Procope, the Finnish
Minister, conferred for two hours
yesterday with Senator Harrison
but failed to overcome the Senate
Finance Committee chairman's OPP
position to proposals for a Govern
ment loan to Finland.
Although declining to disclose
details of the conference, Senator
Harrison said it had not changed
his views. Mr.. Procope left the
Senator's office smiling, but silent
A bill now waiting action by the
Foreign Relations Committee would
double the present $l00, 900 900 lend
ing fund of the Export-1mport
Bank, Federal agency for foreign
loans, and permit new credit OF
$40, 900, 900 for Finland, which al
ready has received $4,000, 900.
While opposing this measure
Senator Harrison has sponsored a
resolution which would direct the
Securities Exchange Commission to
expedite its machinery for APPROX
ing private sale in this country OF
bonds, securities or other obliga-
tions of Finland, some OF its
agencies, or a committee Of Amer
ican citizens acting in its behalf
Senator Harrison declared that
congressional sentiment for his pro-
posal was increasing. Chairman
Pittman of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee mdorsed IL yes
terday.
In the past, loans from the
Export Import Bank have been re-
stricted to use for non military
supplies. Finland could use any
funds secured by sale Of bonds FOL
purchase of the arms she needs
to resist Russia's invasion.
Senator Harrison said Jerome
Frank, chairman OF the S. E. c..
would testify Tuesday at hearings
by the Foreign Relations Commit
tee on his resolution.
I'm not certain that the public
loan would succeed" he said
However, from the many letters
I've received, I think it would be
wise to offer any such loans in
very small denominations"

Ladylike Fashions
Keynote for Fall

The new autumn style program
places the emphasis on dignity and
conservatism in dress. The major
ity of frocks arriving are simply
fashioned carrying their style mes
sage through an entirely new sill
houette that narrows skirts into easy
natural lines, modifies shoulders in
bodice, blouse and jackets, length
ems sleeves to below elbow or to
wrist.
The early call is for blacks and
browns and rich green's in suit or
ensembles. Hats are not freakish
and they are styled to fit snugly
and they are tuned to the type of
hardness you adopt.
Materials say quality at glance.
The dresses in the new collections
are designed along simple wearable
lines, glorified with fetching details
that bespeak their newness.
And when all is said and done,
you are going to be charmed with
the new order of things in that
good taste is evidenced all the way
through heightened with dramatic
touches of color in jewelry ard
gloves and other accessories that
add fascination to the entire scheme
of costume design for the coming
months.

pest dressed women have long
y since proved through experience
the wisdom of investing in a new
suit at the very start-off of the au-
tunn season. In smart suit. and a
goodly supply of eye-thrilling ac-
cessories you have an investment
that will yield hundred per cent to
the good right through until fur coat
time and then likely as not you will
be wearing your suit under your
coat on many wintry day.
The call for a new suit with ac-
cent on new becomes positively
imperative this particular fall be-
cause lines have undergone such
drastic change they make a last
year model look hopelessly passe.
The new silhouette somehow con-
trives to give the impression of be-
ing narrow and straight though as a
matter of fact it does not at all
times entirely eliminate pleats and
other devices that insure free and
easy movement AS to jackets, they
are Skinned and heightened to give
the new long-torso look.
Just now the world of fashion is
all agog concerning the hand
some, neat and trim black silk suits
made either of faille or bengaline
or smart MORE. The charming suit
conferred in the picture is tailored of
black MORE. The skirt is interest
ing because it is skilfully manipu-
lated to preserve the coveted slen-
der line so indicative of the new
trend, at the same time that I'M
pressed pleats are introduced. Also
the long-torso contour, which is a
major fashion law this season, is in
terpreted in the smartly tailored

jacket. The fastenings of gold but
tons are especially significant, in
that they confirm the report that
gold jewelry and gadgets are to re-
turn this fall and winter. There's
important news too, in the hat this
fashionably attired young lady is
wearing in that it is one of the dra-
matte profile shapes that's the lat
est, according to expert millinery adj
vice.
The suit to the left flashes impor-
tant highlights in more ways than
one. To begin with, the material
of which it is made is finely ribbed
wooden and all the fashion notes will
tell you that ribbed weaves abound
in the fabric realm this fall. Again
this model gives accent to the long
er jacket vogue. The slenderizing
narrow skirt is also made feature
in this instance. 1t is one of the very
new side drape types. And now for
the most telling fashion stroke of all
which this mode registers-jet but
tons fasten it'll
The new tweeds for fall are COR
geous. The challenge is going to be
whether to buy an all black suit
such as the new style program pro-
claims for fall or to 60 in for color
full tweed with all your might. The
ideal course of action is to acquire
both, black for the more formal,
dignified moments, and carefree
wildly colorful plaid contrasting a
monotone skirt for nonchalant GO
ing about. Make it an all-plaid suit
for that matter for the suit of plaid
looms up on fashions horizon in no
uncertain way. The practical thing
to do is to buy plaid suit, also
monotone skirt that picks up one of
the colors in the plaid. This will
give you welcome changes that tune
to time and event. For the model
pictured vivid plaid is selected
for the long-torso jacket, the same
topping a narrow skirt done in mono
tone.

4 1 first talking picture was
'"The Letter." in which he
played Jeanne Eagel's lover,

playing in it again, but this

He prefers his current role.
"Pd rather be a betrayed,
but live, husband, than a dead
lover!" he commented.
Incidentally, two of the
most interesting photographs
that have come this way re-
Gently are of Bette Davis and
her stand-in. They're dressed alike,
posed alike. If anything, the stand
in is little prettier than the talent

contrast. Those photographs show
the difference between an expert
