tional Council of Farmer Cooper
atives, last night urged quick action
| on President Roosevelt's proposal
that cargo ships be loaned to Great
Britain-a move which he declared
could be made without fear of Ho-
lating international law.
Both the johnson Act and the
Neutrality Act should be amended,
Judge Miller told the annual meet
ing of the farmers organization, sc
as to permit loans of money and
ships to Britain, but they should not
be amended so as to permit mer-
chant vessels controlled by our Gov
eminent or our people to enter bel
ligerent waters"
The 84-year-old dean of Amer
ican agricultural cooperation, who
is completing his eighth term as
president of the council, said that
up to the present this country has
not violated international law, but
on the contrary has temporarily
surrendered its right to do things
that are permissible under interna-
tiona1 law"
THE Presidents proposal to loan
ships to Britain, to be returned after
the war;" he added, sis the most

Democrats in House
Fill Ways and Means
Committee Places
Hill, Ford and HeoIey
Win Important Posts
In Caucus Voting

Selections to fill the three va
cancies-on the Ways and Means
(tax) Committee-were made late
yesterday by the Democratic House
caucus and probably will be con.
f1rmed by the House when It meets
tomorrow.
Representative Knute Hill, a New
Dealer from Washington, led the
field of five candidates, receiving 166
votes in the caucus. He is starting
his fifth tenn in Congress. His
most important previous committee
assignment was to the Expenditures
(auditing) Committee. He is law
yer, farmer, former school teacher
and was a lecturer for the Grange.
He served in the State Legislature.
Representative Aaron L. Ford of
Mississippi poIled the second largest
number Of woes, 159. He is starting
his fourth Tern. His previous as
signment was on the Foreign Affairs
Committee. He is a lawyer and for
mer district attorney.
Representative Arthur D. HeaIey
Of Massachusetts, had IA votes. He
Is starting mis- fifth term and pre-
viously had oeeo on :he Judiciary
Committee, with special assign
ment to the committee investigating
the National Labor Relations Board.
He is a lawyer and World War vet
eran.
A surprise Of the caucus was the
failure of Representative Walter A.
Lynch of New York to win a place
on the Ways and Means Committee,
to I'LL a vacancy that had been con-
sidered ear-marked for New York,
a post long held by Representative
Christopher Sullivan, Tammany
chieftain, who has retired. Mr..
Lynch received 1875 votes. Represen-
tative Wilbur D. Mills Of Arkansas,
the fifth candidate, had 108 votes.
Election to the 15-member Ways
and Means Committee is important
because the group not only formu-
lates all tax legislation but also
makes up the slate of assignments
to all other House committees.

portance of all Democratic men,

Export Licensing
System Stiffened,
Buenos Aires Reports
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 9.-North
American importers said today the
United States Government had
started solution Of the problem of
"anti-American business representa-
ton" here by shutting of at the
source the products coming to such
firms in South America through stiff
fening its export licensing system.
(Nelson A. Rockefeller, co-ordi-
nator of commercial and cultural
relations between the American
republics, charged yesterday in
Washington that United States
business frequently was repre-
sented in South America by firms
and individuals supporting the
axis powers)
The importers said they had re-
ceived instructions from the United
States indicating that hereafter the
Washington Government, before is
suing permits for the expectation
Of restricted products-the list Of
which is increasing daily-would re-
quire importers to furnish with their
permit request a certified copy of
the customs order.
In this way 1t would be possible,
the importers explained, to keep
a close check on the firms handling
North American exports.
One official of a North American
commercial organization in Buenos
Aires said American repre-
sentation Of United States products
was particularly strong in the steel
industry, with German agents in
the Argentine capital buying large
quantities from independent New
York exporters.
The majority of German and
italian firms in Argentina recently
formed Argentine subsidiaries in the
hope of protecting this flow of
products. Informed sources said,
however, they believed Washington
was likely to strengthen the export
licensing system to cover this situa-
ton.

Ford Studying Plan
For Mass Production
Of Giant Bombers
Auto Company to Work
With Consolidated
Aircraft on Project
- he Associated Press.

- he Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. "a
plan to use mass-production facili-
ties of the Ford Motor Co. in fast
construction of giant bombing
planes Is under development by the
automobile firm and Consolidated
Aircraft Corp.
I'VE will do it if we can, and it
looks as If we can," said Edsel Ford,
after a conference here yesterday
with Maj. Reuben H. Fleet, head of
the aircraft corporation.
Mr. Ford, president of the Ford
Motor Co., said all the facilities of
his huge River Rouge plant near
Detroit were available If needed to
produce in whole or in part the
giant four -motored bombers now
built here by Consolidated.
The tentative plans call for the
Ford plant to produce parts for as
sembly by consolidated at a new
plant to be built at Fort Worth, Tex.
Parts from the automobile fac
tory also will be used by the Doug
las Aircraft Co., which also builds
bombers in Southern California, to
assemble at a new plant at Tulsa,
Okla.
Donald Douglas, president of the
hrm, said representatives of the
Defense Commission and automo-
bile manufacturers were due at the
Douglas plant in a few days to
discuss details.
The company, he said, had been
asked by the Government to con-
centrate on plane model now In
production land to utilize as much
as possible manufacturing and per-
sonnel facilities of the automotive
industry"
Mr.. Ford, who came here with his
two sons, Benson and Henry II, said
he would return East today, but
would leave five of his best tech
nicians to study Consolidated
methods and equipment.
Use Of the River Rouge facilities
will require retooling of the vast
plant, Mr.. Ford said, and "it will
take some months" to get parts
production under way. How long,
he could not say.
The Consolidated B-24 bomber,
powered by four engines of 1900
horsepower each, has a range OF
5000 miles and can carry four tons
of bombs.
Mr.. Douglas said he could not
make a complete statement of pos
sibilities of the plan, pending COM
plete study, but that I'VE have
pledged our resources and experience
to the Government and will do
everything in our power to speed
the national defense by undertaking
any task which can be reasonably
carried out"
