dent to turn over to the British

SAYS NATION APPROVES

Stimson said that the bill under
consideration was based on a for-
eign policy which has "abundantly
been approved by the people
that the effective defense OF this
country in the pending emergency
depends in large part upon Our
giving effective help TO Great Brit
ain and perhaps to other natiopS
defending themselves against the
Axis powers"
Stimson also stressed his belief
that IL was important that defense
articles sold or transferred from
this country be funnelled through
