Washington, Feb. b. (UP.) Sen.

a move in the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee today to cut $780,

Der, Is ready to carry the fight for 4
reduction to the senate floor If he
fails in committee. Senator Robert
A. Taft, r, Ohio, would assist
johnson In event Of q floor fight.
Meanwhile, action was delayed at
least until next week when the conn
mittee again meets. While the con-
troverSy over the bill continued be-
tween iSoIationists and those who
want to assist Finland, it was re-
ported that a majority Of the COM
mittee now believe that Finland
could obtain no benefit from an ex-
pansion Of the banks revolving
fund.
Members of the committee, who
declined to be quoted, were OF the
opinion that Finland could obtain
no further loan from this country
lit already has been given a $lO,-
100000 credit-unless Federal Loan
Administrator Jesse H. Jones re-
ceived assurances that the money
would be repaid. Such assurances,
committee members believed, seem
unlikely in view of Finland's pres
ent precarious position.
Other members said that testi-
mony had given them the impress
sion that enthusiasm for a Finnish
loan was being used to buiid up
support for the $100,000,0O0 export
import bank increase, which Ordin-
arily would meet with stiff opposi-
ton in both the senate and house.
Sentiment appeared to be in
creasing for a proposal by Senator
Pat Harrison, D., Miss, ranking
majority member of the committee,
for organization of a committee OF
private citizens to handle the sale
of Finnish government bonds to
private investors In this country.
At the same time the committee
was reported to have been told that
Finland was not interested in nom
military loans, but desired money
with which to purchase arms and
ammunitions. Jones told the COM
mittee that under export import
bank policy, military loans could not
be made. Therefore, most committee
members were said to have reached
the conclusion that the proposed
legislation would do Finland little
good.
