CAPITOL
@-NeNS
Fur and Sparks Fly
By Harold Knutson

The Foreign Affairs Committee
Of the House is holding hearings on
the 'Iend-Lease" bill and those
who have been so fortunate as to
get ring-side seats tell me it is
some show and well worth the
price Of admission. The first wit
ness was Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, one of the slipperiest
witnesses ever to hold his right
hand aloft and swear to tell moth
ing but the truth. AS usual he re-
piled to every question with a
speech such as they love to hear
on the hustings down in his native
state Of Tennessee, where they yet
vote the democratic ticket straight,
providing the head thereof has
never heard of Rome or had any,
thing to do with that wicked burg.
Hull is for giving Britain every
thing, even to the clothes on our
backs. He believes, or at least so he
told the committee, that we are
facing the greatest crisis Of our
comparatively short national life.
He believes there is a Hitler under
every American bed and If or when
the British lose we will be gobbled
up next. Evidently Mr.. Hull has not
put much time in studying his geo.
graphy for he never once, as I re.
call, mentioned either the Atlantic
Ocean which is 8 thousand miles
wide, or the Pacific, a much larger
body Of water. Like his brother in
terventionists, Secretary Hull con-
jures up dangers that military
men refuse to admit exist, but they
are useful here at home. They
knocked the third term tradition
Ito smithereens last November and
it Is safe to say they have lost
neither their usefulness nor pot
ency for the time being.
Another witness was Secretary
Of War Stimsen, the chap who as
Secretary of State in Hoover's cab
met back in the early 1930s, in
vited Britain to join us in setting
Japan in her place. If anything,
Stimson is even more blood-thirsty
than Hull. Between cabinet jobs he
is one of the country's most sue
cessful corporation lawyers and
sees eye to eye with the inter-
national bankers, who thrive and
wax fat on conflict, confusion and
chaos; who go in after the carnage
is over and salvage the things that
are worth saving. and the saving of
which Is nearly all velvet.
The hearings will probably con-
tinue another week, after which
the measure, with some slight
changes, perhaps, will go to the
House where an obedient and sub
servient majority will pass 1t at
the behest of the master" who
yet has a few good jobs to give
out. Yes, we're moving fast, but
where?
Yet UnsOlved
While the new Congress will
give rite o'way to defense matters,
1t is almost certain that the farm
progblem will come in for its share
Of Congressional attention. None
Of the remedies heretofore tried
have given us the solution. There
was Hoover's Farm Board, which
was followed by the triple "a" and
the killing Of pigs and plowing un-
der Of cotton, reduced acreage,
crop loans, soil conservation-none
have done the business. In my op-
inion the various programs failed
to help the farmer. largely because

The board said the device would
