lease-Lend Critics
Resigned 10 Defeat as
Senate Opens Debate
Speedy Possoee Of Bill
Providing S., ,9S5, ,000, 900
Token for Granted
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An opposition already resigned to
defeat contented itself today by
putting its arguments on the record
as the Senate opened debate on
the $685. 100000 lease-lend bill, with
speedy passage widely taken for
granted.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO told reports he felt the ap-
preparation of such large amount
was not justified at this time, but
he said he would abide by the judg-
ment of the Appropriations Commit
tee, which approved the measure
without changing the lease-lend to-
tai asked by the President and
already voted by the House.
Taft Criticizes BLANK Check.
Similarly, Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio criticized the amount
involved and deplored what he said
was the blank check" policy to
be established by making $1,875.-
100000 available in one category for
the purchase of agricultural, indus
trial and other commodities.
That particular section means
that practically anything can be
purchased under the leaSe-lend pro-
gram and it leaves the door wide
open to corruption" he declared.
Much as he disliked that and
other things about the bill, how
ever, he acknowledged that II prob
ably will vote for it because Con-
eress has established the lease-lend
policy"
Battle Largely Up to n. Y. c.
This left the opposition's battle
largely in the hands of Senator Nye,
Republican, of North Dakota, who
said that, while he did not oppose
aid to Britain as a policy, he felt
that the financial demands for this
purpose had clearly gone beyond
anything anticipated" when the
original act was passed.
IT think that it has been demon
strated," he added, that the lease
lend program is getting us closer
and closer to involvement in war.
Steps ought to be taken to curb the
policy and keep it within reason"
Senator Nye said that so far as
he knew no effort would be made
to exclude Russia from the list of
nations that might receive part of
the proposed new appropriations.
