Booster of lease Lend Plan Answers Queries
 of Rep. Fish

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secre- tary of War Henry Stimson today declared: T think we are in very great danger of invasion by air in the contingency the British navy should be destroyed or surrendered. .
 The War Department chief made his statement to the House Foreign Affairs Committee in response to the inquiry of Representative Hamilton Fish.
 Secretary Stimson had previously endorsed Roosevelt's bill to lease and lend aid to Britain.
 Representative Fish began ques- tioning by asking whether or not the Secretary thought that with this country's naval strength any foreign nation coulds invade our shores and Stimson answered: Not now. prob ably not adding slowly, Any time this year" but when Fish pressed him, Stimson declared: T wouldn't dare say any time this year
 Secretary Stimson told the com mittee he could "foresee conditions under which the Navy could be transferred under conditions that would be very advantageous
 He made the statement when Fish asked whether or not he had any objection to putting into the bill a prohibition against giving away any part of the United States Navy.
 Under the bill, warships could be turned over to the British on what ever terms President Roosevelt found acceptable.

FARAGERS Y1OTEST
Many, farmers who are pro-
testing marketing quota regula-
tions are scoffing ut the warning
that we have . huge surplus of
wheat and are contendine that
even II we do have q surplus,
the price will stay up regardless
Of marketing quota restrictions"
Thorington declared.
The Triple-A chairman empha-
sized that those farmers who are
demanding that marketing quo
tas be abandoned or that penalty
provisions be reduced should Sc
riously consider what would
happen to the wheat market If
their wishes were carried out.
As IN answer to this question
of what would happen to the
wheat market IL quotas were
abandoned Or penalties reduced,
Thorington made public the text
of q telegram addressed to Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard. by Rep. Frederick
Smith of Ohio, who Is IN ex-
ponent of abandoning quotas and
penalties and the reply to
Smiths question by Secretary
Wickard:
July IL, 1941
Office of Claude r. Wickar6
Secretary of Agriculture
If all penalty clauses only were
stricken from agricultural ad-
justment act Of 1898 and all pen
atty amendments thereto includ-
ing one contained in 81 Res. so,
would cooperators still receive
loans at rate Of IS per cent of
parity price on wheat and other
commodities Is per 10A 81 Res.
so approved May 20, 1941? Re-
ply by Western Union.
Congress Frederick C.. Smith
July Ia, 104l
Hon. Frederick G. Smith
Marion, Ohio
Answering your telegram OF
July IL. II farmers are to con-
tinue to receive benefit Of loans
at eighty-five per cent Of parity
they must restrict marketings Of
wheat otherwise the govern
ment's investment In commodi-
ty loans would be unprotected.
Without penalties that restrict
excessive marketings loan pro-
gram would have to be abandon
ed. Without loan support the
markets woU1d mSd6u btsdly Col.
lapse and the great majority Of
farmers who IRE cooperators
would be penalized.
Claude r. Wickard,
Secretary
