Congress a sl7.4s5.52s,o4 budget
"for the total defense OF our de-

He served notice that he soon
will ask still more billions TO pro-

other countries battling the Axis.
Informed legislators talked in
terms OF s3.000,000 900 to 10000
100000 for helping Britain over a
long period Any such sum would
push the budget far past 100000

President said democracy as way
