BITTER BATTLE IN
SENATE SEEN ON
HELP FOR BRITAIN
Proposal Would Lift Johnson
Act Prohibiting Loans
to Defaulted Groups

10Y Gulteu lTGtsl
Washington, Oct. l. UP - A
bitter Senate fight was promised
today over a proposal to provide
money to Great Britain.
The proposal. which would lift
the Johnson Act that prohibits
loans to nations which defaulted on
their World War debts. was intro
duced by Sen. William H. King,
D., Utah. who has been defeated
for denomination.
Sen. King presented a resolu-
ton which would scale down Bril-
tain's World War debt. authorize
the President to loan money to
Britain through the Export-Import
Bank, and give the President au-
thority to negotiate for British
Island bases in the Pacific. His
resolution provided for a waving
OF the Johnson Act and OF the Sec
ton of the Neutrality Act prohi-
biting loans to belligerents, inso-
far as they apply to Great Britain.
The resolution faced strong OPP
position in the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee, where similar
proposals heretofore have muster
ed only a few votes, and strong
opposition II 1t should reach the
floor. King thought it had only a
small chance. though congress
sional sentiment has changed dras-
tically in recent months as the
battle OF Britain progresses.
