that call it war, or not call it war
the American people will not let
England fall to Hitler" If the
lease-lend program fails to save
the English, he predicted. the United
States would go ahead and save
them anyway"
Senator Austin. like Senator Bark
ley, declared that Hitler must be
destroyed, and climaXed his speech
with the shouted words. If it ever
becomes necessary for us to fight
We will fight"
Keeping the debate going between
sessions, Senator Wheeler contended
that if the people wanted TO aid
Britain, they should know how
much money Congress intended to
vote. That amount. he asserted
should be voted by specific legisla-
ton, instead of having Congress
turn over to the President the
power to give or to loan any or all
of our battleShips. cruisers, air
planes, munitions. not only.to Great
Britain but to any other country he
sees fit to give them to, including
Russia"
Senator Wheeler said the consti-
tuition of France provided that war
could not be declared without con-
sent of both Houses of Parliament.
France" he continued. granted
Premier Daladier unlimited powers
for defense Of the country. March
10. 1899, and under that authority
Premier Daladier guaranteed Po-
land, and took his country into wal
without a vote of the two branches
of the Congress as provided by the
constitution and without the sign
ing OF any decree by President Le-
brun or by Premier Daladier, and up
to this time no declaration of wal
has ever been made either by the
President, Premier or French Par
lament.
There is great similarity between
the powers granted Daladier and the
President OF the United States in
the lease-lend bill, in that this bill
is called a bill for the defense of
the United States but it specifl-
cally grants TO the President power
to commit acts of war under inter
national law. 1t delegates the power
to the President and under this bill
We could be taken into war without
any declaration of war by the Con-
greSs"
Senator Wheeler coupled this
statement with the announcement
that he favored incorporating a
half dozen restrictive amendments
in the pending bill This was inter-
preted generally as another tacit
concession that opponents had dis
carded hopes of sending the legisla-
ton down to outright defeat
The opening of debate yesterday
attracted capacity throngs 10 the
Senate galleries. Several times the
spectators were rebuked for out
bursts which expressed their ap-
proval or disapproval Of arguments
advanced for or against the bill.
Hitler Called Foul Aggressor."
Adolf Hitler's name recurred fire.
quently in the discussion. and the
speakers were blunt in their COM
ments.
Majority Leader Barkley called the
German Chancellor the foul aggres-
sor' and international marauder' -
If Hitler won. he predicted, I'VE
shall some day have TO surrender to
him or defeat him over here"
Immediately, he was challenged by
Senator Taft. Republican. of Ohio
with a spirited contention that
