Senator Wagner said such benefits
should be paid regardless OF the
amount persons received in their old
age from the Governments con-
tributory insurance system and re-
provided by the States.
The benefits, he explained, would
be paid only to persons who are not
employed after reaching IS. He said
this would increase national pur-
chasing power and would tend to
open the labor market to younger
men, thus aiding in reducing unem.

the provisions for old-age insurance.
These would include agricultural
workers and employees of municipah-
ties which do not have pension plans

In addition, Senator Wagner de-
clared, he hopes to introduce at this

voluntary savings for old age Under
the plan, an individual could make

agency possibly through his local
post Office When he retired, the

because he knew it would create
problems for this country.
Mr.. Stearns then asked if it is
accurate to say that at that time
he was in accord with the Chamber
lain policy of appeasement.
Mr.. Kennedy replied by reading
from his radio speech of Saturday
night. in which he said he had been
called an "appeaser." He said his
answer was that II the term meant
he advocated a deal with the die
tators contrary to British desires,
or that he advocated placing any
trust in their promises, it was false
But, he added, if it meant he op-
posed the entrance of this country
into the war. he would cheerfully
plead guilty.
Recalling earlier testimony that
the war aims of the belligerents are
not clear, Mr.. Stearns noted that
Mr.. Kennedy told the radio audience
Germany had no aims save to DOM
mate the world.
III You Don't Have to Go to War"
If that is So" asked Mr.. Stearns,
would it be fair to say Great Brit
aims war aim is to prevent Hitler
from dominating the world?"
Mr.. Kennedy said it might be sat-
isfactory to Great Britain, but he
had more in mind the question OF
this country's aims.
rs it to the interest of the United
States to prevent domination OF the
world by Hitler?" Mr.. Stearns con-
tinued.
"Unquestionably it is, up to the
point where you don't have to 60
to war" Mr.. Kennedy replied.
If this bill is not passed, and
England reaches the end of her
resources, would you favor repeal of
the johnson Act?" asked Mr..
Stearns. The johnson Act pro-
hibits debtor nations from obtaining
credit in this country)
"Yes sir" Mr.. Kennedy answered.
Legislation Won't Do It."
Representative Burgin of North
Carolina, questioning Mr.. Kennedy
said: You say you are opposed to
this bill. Why?"
II believe the co-ordinating func-
tions of Congress should be main
tained." replied Mr.. Kennedy. He
said that that was a matter that
necessarily must be left to Congress
to work out.
Mr.. Burgin said that Mr.. Kennedy
had suggested that q committee of
Congress might be appointed to deal
with the matter.
How are you going to get 500
men in Congress to agree on q small
committee?" he asked.
Mr.. Kennedy suggested the sit
uation was such that Congress
might be able to agree on 4 COM
mittee.
Mr.. Burgin asked whether this
country was doing enough, in the
opinion Of Mr. Kennedy, for Britain
now.
The only thing lacking in aid to
Britain is our ability to give them
anything, said Mr.. Kennedy. Leg
islation won't do it. We must have
the tanks and guns and planes to
give them"

Aid Sugar Industry
Production Quotes
And Tax on Output
Are Criticized
By the Associated Press.

HAVANA, Jan. 2l.-Negotiations
for an $1s,750.000 financing of Gu
ban sugar production by the Ex.
port-Import Bank of Washington
appeared to be at standstill today
Jose Manuel Casanova, president
Of the Cuba Sugar Sterilization In
stitute, said: I'VE cannot accept
the American proposition"
Other sources indicated the Gu
bans found two points unaccept-
able. They were reported to be:
/. Extension for five years of a
Cuban decree which regulates the
distribution of Cuban sugar produc-
ton quotas among sugar mills ano
which expires in 1912.
2. Attachment to the loan as COL
lateral security. of a 6 cents a bag
tax on Cuba's entire sugar produc-
ton. "a bag of sugar weighs 36C
poundsJ
Tax Would Yield S75O,00O.
The tax which would yield around
S750,000 a year, would be accepted
by the Cubans, it was said, if the
Export Import Bank did not insist
on applying 1t to the payment OF
the principal only. rather than to
both principal and interest.
The bank, said Informed sources,
offered to finance 100000 tons of
reserve sugar of this years crop at
S2750 a ton.
With an indicated reduction of
Cuba's sugar crop for this year to
100000 tons from 2,700,0O0 last
year, the additional production Of
100000 tons as a reserve would mean
greatly expanded income for
Cuban sugar workers. However. the
present low prices. say sugar men,
make financing by the mills of such
reserve out of the question.
European Market Closed.
Last year Cuba produced sugar
earmarked for export to Europe but
the war closed that market. The
republic recently authorized pro-
duction of inverted" molasses-
by melting sugar--for shipment to
the United States for alcohol pro-
dHctlon.
On January 16 the date fixed
by government decree to start the
sugar grinding season, only two
mills started UP. Now u are grind
ing, compared with 1853 at work last
year.
The national quotas have not been
fixed for this year as government
and sugar stabilization institute
officials still await a decision on the
financing.
