lima, Hill, Democrat, Of Alabama,
and Murray, Democrat, of Mon
| tana.
Once they have spoken, it is very
likely that the administration will
rest its formal case in behalf of
the bill-a maneuver calculated to
hasten a final decision.
To Leave Debate to Opposition.
This would saddle the opposition
with the task of keeping the de-
bate going
Once the opposition has talked
itself out and no more speakers rise,
the bills supporters planned to press
ahead Immediately with considera-
ton of amendments.
Off the Senate floor, the lively
discussion of lease-lend amend
ments continued in opposition ranks,
but Democratic Leader Barkley in
formed reporters that so far he had
seen no suggestions which the ad-
ministration was willing to accept.
Nevertheless. Senator Wheeler,
Democrat. of Montana, who has bat
tied the bill from the start. believed
there was very good chance" that
the Senate would vote to incorporate
statements of policy against sending
troops out of this hemisphere,
against transferring naval vessels
and against use of American war
ships as conveys.
Senator Wheeler said that, as
substitute for the lease-lend pro-
gram, he and other opponents would
back a proposal to place cash loan
or gift at Britain's disposal for the
purchase of war supplies here.
Delegation of Power"
cts not necessary to pass this
bill to give aid to Britain or to
promote our own defense" Senator
Wheeler declared. The talk that
this measure is going to promote
our defenSes is sheer nonsense.
This is a delegation of power by
Congress to the President to commit
acts of war which, in my judgment,
could not legally be done under the
Constitution. I agree with Senator
Vandenberg that if they wanted to
make a gift to England they could
pass a bill in 48 hours for any rea-
sonable amount"
Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
of Michigan told the Senate yester-
day, in the course of opposition de-
bate, that he was sure Congress
would approve an outright loan or
gift to Britain with no delay.
Senators Vandenberg and Clark,
Democrat, of Missouri both delivered
extended attacks on the pending
legislation. They predicted that it
would bring the United States to
the brink of war and would confer
on the President dictatorial powers.
Power politician No. l of the
world" was the phrase Senator
Vanderberg used to describe the
Presidents future role if the bill
passed
Following up this point. Senator
Nye. Republican, of North Dakota
demanded to know whether the
President was entertaining the
notion of an alliance of a perma-
nent order with Great Britain, with
the English speaking peoples of
the world, to the end that there
could be an adequate policing of
the whole world?'
Under the bill Senator Nye
claimed, the President could give
away all or any part OF the Navy,
dispose of every scrap" of defense
material, seize foreign vessels in
American harbors and turn them
over to other countries, suspend the
laws that protect labor, saddle the
cost" of the war on the United
States, repeal any law he thought
interfered with his program and
govern through administrative proc
lamation.

Plea for British Aid
Presaged in Wallace
Speech Saturday
Vice President to Address
National Farm Institute
In Des Moines, lowu
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Vice President Wallace, who has
listened to lot of speeches in his
first months service as presiding
officer of the Senate, is going to
make one of his own Saturday.
And the advance word is that II
will be an important one, scrutinlzed
In advance by President Roosevelt
and possibly intended to swing Mid
western support behind the British
aid bill.
Mr.. WallaceS friends saw In the
vice Presidents expanding activity
a veriflcation of their prediction
forecasts that he would do all he
could In and out of the Senate
chamber, TO forward Mr.. Roosevelt's s
policies.
To Speak I'm Home Town.
Mr.. Wallace will speak in his old
home town. Des Moines, Iowa, before
the National Farm Institute.
AS a former Secretary of Agricul-
ture, he was expected to bear down
on his thesis that this Nations S
farmers have a material stake in
British victory.
A tentative draft of his address
was said to emphasize the possibility
that it may become necessary to
invoke corn and wheat marketing
quotas for the first time this year,
because of war-upset markets. The
Vice President was represented as
feeling that further and more
stringent agriculture controls might
be required in the event of British
defeat at the hands of the axis.
With export markets rigidly cur
tailed by blockades and counter
blockades, and with surpluseS grow
ing, Mr.. Wallace was expected to
point to desirability of British VIC
tory as a means of recreating a for
eign market for American farmers.
Sharp Contrast to Garner.
Mr. Wallace'S speaking engage
ment was in sharp contrast to the
policy of his predecessor in office,
John N. Garner. With the eXcep-
ton of a campaign address or two,
Mr. Garner didn't make public
speech during his eight years as
Vice President
Mr. Wallace has been active In
other ways.
He was the official through whom
announcement was made last Sun
day of a petition to the President
by $50 public figures urging that
food, as we'll as munitions, be
rushed to Britain. Timing of the
food appeal was important, Mr.
Wallace's associates believed They
said it dovetailed with reports that
food would be considered in prepar-
ing list of goods which might be
sent abroad if the British aid bill
becomes law.
The Vice President has been TAX
ing more than a perfunctory part in
cabinet meetings and often remains
behind for private talks with the
Chief Executive.
Even before his Inauguration, Mr..
Wallace went on a goodwill mission
to Mexico. He said he hoped to fol-
low with other visits to Latin Amer
lean nations whenever the oppor-
tunity affords In other words, as
one associate put it. he will do lot |
of leg work" where it will do the |
most good.

The union spokesman added that
some of the hotheads took it upon
their shoulders to go on the picket
line" and turn back workers who re-
ported at the plant this morning
The pickets later dispersed.
James Hamilton, president of the

the union voted unanimously last

THAT charge implies that the
President wants to get America into
war. 1t is an attack upon the sin
cerity of the President. and upon
his oft declared intention to keep
America out of the war. 1t implies
that he is less patriotic than those
who bring the charge.
1T evidences lack Of confidence
and of trust and lack of belief that
the President will exercise the high
functions of his great Office is an
honest, in a sincere and in a patri-
otic fashion. No President needs
such a bill as this if he should desire
to embroil in war. Any President
who is commander in chief of the
Army and Navy of the United States,
as the sole commander of the Army
and Navy of the United States, may
at any time so employ either the
Army or the Navy as to bring about
an international situation which
might provoke war. The Constitution
and laws of the United States and
this bill presuppose that the high
officers of the United States will ex-
ercise their lofty duties with view
to the interest. the safety and the
security of the United States and its
people"
Denies Dictator Charge.
Answering the dictatorship charge,
Senator Connauy said a dictator
could disregard the rights of his
people affecting their lives, liberty
and property.
''I submit" he said. that under
this bill the President is given no
authority whatever over the life of
single American citizen. I submit
that this bill confers no power of
the President over the liberty of a
single American citizen. I submit
that the bill gives the President no
power over the property of single
American citizen, except indirectly
through taxation, which shall have
been previously enacted by the Con-
gress"
ITO show the bill is not an un-
restricted grant of power, the Sena-
tor also listed the restrictions
already written into the measure,
fixing a date of expiration, limiting
TO $1,000, 100000 the value of ma
terial aid that may be furnished out
of existing appropriations and re-
tanning congressional control over
the purse strings as to future appro-
priations.

 She and Ken were dancing now.

 Ken had said Jaret was beau. tiful. Ann remembered how stun- ming the girl had looked in New York, but she wasn't prepared for this.
 Gorgeous, would have been Ann's word; and her startled heart skip- ped beat As she looked at Janet,s sleek black hair, coiled low in knot glittery brown eyes and daring gown. she knew she had never seen anyone quite so attractive. Janet was slim and straight, sure of herself.

Little Albania Suffers As Modern battle-ground
aaeAa . . . . . : . asA ]

HISTORICALLY a warlike peo. II pie, the Albanians have seen enough war in a little over two years to last them for centuries.
 The stamp above, with the pro- file of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, was issued late in 1889. In March of.that year, Italy had marched on Albania and seized the country, forcing King Fog to flee. The Italian king was then proclaimed king of Albania.
 Last year, modern warriors again overrode Albania, when Italian forces, attempting to in- wade Greece, were thrown back into Albania. For several months, Greek troops battled successfully in mountain positions with re- treating Italians. This year, Ger many swept into the Balkans and Albanian soil became the battle- ground for troops of at least five foreign nations-British, Greek, Yugoslav, Italian and German.
 Until the Balkan war of 19l2- 13, Albania was nothing more than an undefined region. Ter ritorial limits and self-govern- ment were set up following World War I. Fog, who had been presi- dent of the Albanian republic, be- came monarch in 1928.

 You're not afraid, Ann?"

The question came darting through the ~shadowy room.
 Afraid" She said the word sharply. "Yes, think am. That's what Ken meant, only he said worried But I am worried and afraid. I wish she hadn't come"
 Have some tea, my pet" Sally poured it swiftly. And I'll give you something else to worry about I just had a letter from Mary and she was telling me about Jerry She said Ruth Eustace is figuring on marrying him just as soon as the decree is final Isn't 1t two or three weeks more?"
 Three weeks. I can't seem to realize it. I'll be free to marry Ken. On the 10th of June."

 Nothing at all. darling. Why get so excited? It's just that they had a perfectly desperate case be- fore Ken came to New York and saw you, You were sort of re- bound you know, and now that she's back again, it looks like competition te me.
 Perhaps some of her friends wrote her that he was engaged to you, How should know? But I'd be uneasy If rival like that came back into my territory. It's D free country, and all's fair in love. don't think Janet will surrender Ken without a battle"
 Sally, you make me furious. You're just a-a-I don't know what, telling me about Jerry and Ruth, suggesting things about Ken and Janet. You're a cat"

 Tt sounds like you sit on your own doorstep"
 Ann tried to keep from thinking of Sally's words as she went with Ken to the club dance. She had dressed with more than usual care. Her pale green net dress made her eyes more green and her hair more gold. It made her look young and lovely.
 She was angry at herself. Once she had not been afraid-once she had faced life with her head up, confident, sure of herself. Now, when she had everything, she was cringing
 She was John Marshall's daugh- ter-that had been proved beyond any doubt. She had all the back ground Pennington could demand. She had gone to Richmond to visit her father again and again and his friends had accepted her eagerly. She had nothing to worry about.
 And yet, here she was at the Country Club, looking at herself in the mirror afraid This girl who had once been called beauty, who had won applause and compliments, was afraid of dark-eyed girl with an arrogant walk, because she had once been engaged to Ken.
