Money Not Essential.

This, the President said, showed
how wrong the accepted beliefs
were. History shows, he said, that
no country ever lost a war because
Of lack Of money.
And then he went on describing
his plan for lending or leasing i'm
plements of war to Great Britain
instead Of lending money. He had
no notes before him but it was plain
he had spent plenty of thought on
his plan, that it was the result Of
study and thought.
Whatever the merits of the plan
may be, its one merit seemed to be
this: it stilled for a while at least,
something that came very near hys-
terra in Washington and what might
have been hysteria in England, too.
For while it did not increase by one
machine gun bullet, immediate aid to
Britain, it promised them "econom-
ic cooperation" and restored their
morale.
And it stilled, too, the angry de-
mands of the pressure groups in this
country which would push us right up
to the very verge of war. They
could hardly complain if London
was satisfied. And yet, on the other
side of the picture, it did not even
imply single immediate act which
would bring US any nearer the war
then we were at the moment for
the President made it clear that con-
gress would have to pass upon it..
He also made it clear that
it would not be presented to the old
congress for any hasty action. It
must await the converting Of the new
congress when you folks have had
time to think it over.
The plan may be, as some Of the
critics say. the most bald Of subter-
fuges. It may be utterly imprac-
teal But it has postponed rancor-
GUS discussion and discord in this
country which would have served as
aid and comfort to the totalitarian
nations which seize with joy any ex-
ample Of the lack Of unity in a
democracy.

No Answer

Two young girls met and one said:
where have you been all day, I
tried to get you on the telephone and
no one answered"
"Don't you tell" said the other,
''but mother was expecting some
folks to call up and want to visit us
and she wouldn't let me answer the
telephone all day."

my Associated PressD

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-Waves of
Nazi bombers hammered London
again last night and spread de-
struction to ports and industrial
cities all over the islands, it was
announced here today.
The major thrust of the attack
apparently was aimed at London,
which took a three and one-half
hour pounding, but other cities
suffered as we'll.
The bombers, escorted by
fighters, came across the channel
shortly after dark.
British sources, it was learn
ed, admitted a heavy attack on
London, but reported the raids in
other parts of the country had
been very light. The attacks, il
was thought, were intended for
full scale onslaught on stra-
tegic points in southern England,
but fighter opposition drove off
most of the bombers before they
could unload their cargoes.)

LONDON, Jan. 18.--Fighters of

London newspapers carried
banner headlines with stories de-

time that Nazi troops were dig

apparently feared a counter-at-

British forces.
The Raj fighters swept down
over the trenches along the shore
and swept them again and again
with blistering machine gun fire,

bombers to come through with
another terrific attack.

The war cannot be won, they
said, by bombing of England or by
military action, in both of which
phases the United Kingdom has
greatly improved its position this
winter.
The steady warfare of SUBJ
marines and flying bombers on
Britain's far-flung merchant fleet
admittedly has had frightening re-
suits. Right now, the British say,
aircraft and military assistance
from the United States are not as
important as the need for freight
vessels of every size to fill the
gaping holes in the lines of sea-
borne supplies.
Military observers here believe
the island kingdom is relatively
safer from defeat by air or in
vasion than ever before. "They
missed their chance to invade us
after the fall of France" it is said
here, at would have been much,
easier then"
Meanwhile, the British are look
ing for food and ships to carry on
and struggling to find new meth
DDS of combating the grisly war
carried on from under and over
the sea.
