publicans and a substantial number
of Democrats in both houses would
vote against it. Although eventual
passage of the measure, in more
or less amended form, is a virtual
certainty, reports are that it will
face really tough going in the
House unless some amendments
are adopted.
There are indications the Ad-
ministration is willing to accept
some changes in order to obtain
bipartisan support for the bill,
which would help a great deal to-
ward attaining that national unity
for which all Of us hope. Many of
us feel it would be a tragic thing
for our nation, regardless Of the
merits Of this particular bill, II the
division on it were to be made
strictly on party lines or even ap-
proximately so.
That the fight in Congress over
this bill will become extremely bit
ter now seems a foregone conclu-
sion. In both houses there are a
number Of strong isolationists who
are bitterly opposed, not only to
the broad grant of powers in this
particular bill, but to any sort of
aid to Britain. They do not seek
to amend the bill so they can sup
port it, but to defeat it entirely.
Most informed observers are
agreed this group stands no chance
of success, but they are all season
ed and tough fighters and will put
up a real battle. Typical of what
may be expected was Senator Bur-
ton K. Wheeler's crack that the
"lend-lease-give program is the
New Deals triple A foreign policy
pillow under every fourth Ameri-
can boy" and President Roosevelt's
Characterization Of Wheeler's state

many things said in the heat Of
campaign or debate, but neither of
these remarks was made in that
atmosphere, and neither will be
soon forgotten by the two men con-
cerned.

who have been urging centralized

There Is Unity In Real Democracy

President Roosevelt's Inauguration as the first
third term president Of the nation, should present
to the other countries Of the world picture of
American unity. Regardless Of the arguments
gendered by the lend-lease BILL there Is apparent in
the land today a greater unity than noted for sew
eral years.
Democracy in its ordinary operation, must have
Of course makes a difference. Yet honest oppos-
ton under any circumstances should not be looked
upon disunifed action. Many of the leading
men Of the nation, who expressed opposition to the
end-ease BILL did because Of the fear Of future
results and because Of the unlimited powers granted
to the president hereunder. Their opposition Is
not to giving aid to the democracies, but rather in
how 1t is given. Opposition is found among both
Republicans and Democrats, and find men of
rank in both parties favoring the same.
Latest Of the leading Republicans to urge sup
port for the foreign policy Of the federal
is Governor Harold Stassen He, however, suggested
important revsions in the bill which would limit the
power Of the President, and would delegate the
power under the bill to help England. to a supreme
defense council" which shall consist Of the President
and the majority and minority leaders Of both the
senate and house.
Suggestions, such these, and others offered
Of value, it is predicted that the bill will pass
in all probability, but it will be amended. 1t Is
pected that some limitation Of authority proposed
to be given the President Is likely, although this
will not impair the effectiveness Of the measure
In summing up the entire situation 1t looks to
us as though there is little opposition to liberal aid
for Britain, but that the main issue Is over the
specific powers Congress Is willing to grant the
President. AS long men can honestly and openly
give their viewpoints for against such measures
Democracy will continue. regardless of all the worlds
