Of 7 Billion Measure

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Congress recently passed and
President Roosevelt signed the
British aid measure authorizing
the President to acquire and
lease or lend lCdr materials TO
countries the defense of Which is
deemed uitGl to the defense OF the
United States. The President re-
queSted a 81 900 900 900 appropri-
alton to implement the program

the House and Senate commit
tees. The appropriation bill al
ready has passed the House.
By the Associated Press.
Senator Adams, Democrat. of
Colorado, who opposed the British
aid bill, took the lead on the Senate
floor today in asking for approval of
a $1,000 100000 fund to carry out the
measure.
Il voted against the lease-lend
bill" said Senator Adams, chairman
of the appropriation subcommittee
which handled the s7.0O000OO00 aid
fund. Il thought, and I still think,
that it was unsound in principle
and apt to bring not only danger,
but catastrophe and disaster, to my
country.
However, since it has become
law, regard myself as much bound
by the lease and lend bill in its
legal requirements as those who
voted for it, 1t is presented here on
the premise that Congress having
laid down the policy should, and I
think must, implement the bill by
providing adequate financing
Senator Willis, Republican, of
INDIANA another foe of the bill,
said in a statement he would support
the appropriation.

every possible implement it deems
necessary for the successful prose-
cution of its program of defense"
Administration leaders, hopeful
they could pass the bill without
change and dispatch it by plane to
President Roosevelt before nightfall,
spoke confidently of a three to-one
majority.
Several other Senators besides
Senators Adams and Willis who
battled the original lease-lend pro-
gram to the bitter end indicated
they might vote with the majority.
The measure already has been
passed by the House and approved
unanimously by the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.

Montana, who led the Senate fight
against the original legislation au-

Nozi Rule StrongIes French Economy

Peton Regime Used os Front for Harsh Regulations

France, one can procure just enough
not to die of hunger, but there is
no question of buying anything else.
To this misery is added the fear
of civil mobilization. Every regis
tered unemployed person is at the
disposal of the French government,
which can send him where it wills
in work bands unless he prefers to
sign up for term of work in the
German factories. In such cases,
considerable material advantages
are offered him, particularly in sup

No Assistant Named.
After the committee had unani-
mouSly adopted a resolution reject
ing the resignation of Mr. Martin,
Mr.. Martin agreed to continue, say
ing that while he sincerely wished
to be relieved of his duties. too many

Mr.. Martins personal wishes the
times were too serious to permit
him to relinquish his post Barak
