not more than $2,000,000 900.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, opposition leader, declared
there is goodly number of SEN
ators who oppose this legislation
who would be willing TO vote a def
mite amount of money and give it to
Great Britain, the sum depending
upon what Army and Navy experts
feel would be necessary to aid the
British at this time.
They see no reason why we
should grant totalitarian powers to
the President in the name of build

of helping democracies throughout
the world"

tive that he wanted to talk with ali
the officials who could see him and
that he particularly wished to con-
fer with Ernest Bevins, minister of
labor, and Anthony Eden, foreign
minister. He will leave by clipper
Wednesday.
Administration leaders said they
thought Mr.. WILKES visit to the
White House would tend to bolster
Republican support of the lend
lease measure, even though Mr..
Willkie suggested three modifica-
tions-a time limit on the extra
ordinary powers granted the PreSi-
dent, congressional retention of the
purse strings" and a section-by-
section congressional study to de-
termine whether all the authority
conferred on the Chief Executive
was necessary.
Despite the adjournment of Con-

gress for the Inauguration, the
House leadership considered ways
to hasten action on the aid-to-
Britain legislation. White House
lieutenants were hopeful that the
Foreign Affairs Committee would
wind up public hearings by the end
of this week and send the measure
to the floor next Monday or so.
Kennedy Testifies Tomorrow.
Joseph P. Kennedy. who criticized
some provisions of the bill in an
address Saturday night, will testify
tomorrow, and Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh was among the witnesses to
be heard later in the week.
1t was on the Senate side that
word circulated that the opposition
was working on a substitute meas
ure to make a cash gift to Britain.

Making dramatic and hastily

Senate opposition to the measure
was being rallied behind a counter

Mr. Willkie told reporters that his

Text of Presidents Speech
In Dedicotine Woodrow Wilson Birthplace
He Soys u.s. Is Ready to Fight for Freedom

| Those unhappy peoples who have
placed their sole reliance on the
sword have inevitably perished by
the sword in the end.
Physical strength can never per-
manently Withstand the impact of
spiritual force.
He Held the Vision Splendid.
Woodrow Wilson's whole career
was a triumph of the spiritual over
the sordid forces of brute strength.
Under his leadership this country
made great spiritual progress.
OF Woodrow Wilson this can be
said, that in a time when world
councils were dominated by material
considerations of speed and gain
and revenge he beheld the vision
splendid. That selfish men could
not share his vision of a world
emancipated from the shackles of
force and the arbitrament Of the
sword in nowise detracts from its
splendor. Rather does the indif-
ffence of hostile contemporaries en-
hance the beauty of the vision which
he saw and enlarge the glory of
the world he sought to rebuild.
No Democracy in Isolation.
He will be held in everlasting re-
membrance as a statesman, who,
when other men sought revenge and
material gain, Strove to bring nearer
the day which should see the eman-
cipation of conscience from power
and the substitution Of freedom for
force In the government of the world.
1t is good for America that this
house in which Woodrow Wilson
was born will be preserved for us
and for many future generations.
In this Valley of Virginia it will
remind America that his ideals of
freedom were wide enough to sup
port democracy In all the world.
He taught that democracy could not
survive in isolation. We applaud his
| Judgment and his faith.

lo,oi,lg is the tert of President
RooseUelts address here yester-
day dedicdting the birthplace OF
Woodrow Wilson as shrine:
We are meeting here today te
dedicate a new shrine of freedom
BY this action we are bearing true
witness to the faith that is in US
simple faith in the freedom of de.
mocracy in the world.
1t is the kind of faith for which
we have fought before, for the eX-
istence of which we are ever ready
to fight again.
I can think of no more fitting
place in all the land for Americans
to pledge anew their faith in the
democratic way OF life than at the
birthplace of Woodrow Wilson. In
this quiet Presbyterian manse first
saw the light of day one whose whole
active life was dedicated to the
cause of freedom, to the conquest
of fear and to the liberation of the
eternal spirit of man from every
thraldom imposed by force.
Home of High Thinking.
Woodrow Wilson was fortunate In
his birthplace and favored in his
parentage and environment. This
was a home of plain living and high
thinking and wherever the family
moved in the migrations incident tc
the religious calling of the father
they carried with them ideals which
put faith in spiritual values above
every material consideration.
In the tragic conflict which the
world witnesses today and which
threatens everything we have most
loved as free people, we see more
clearly than ever before the un-
yielding strength of things of the
spirit. All of recorded history bears
witness that the human race has
made true advancement only as il
has appreciated spiritual values
