Dear Mr.. Hearst.
because of your effective OPP
- position TO the lease-lend bill,
now before the Congress, I should
like to submit to you the following
suggestions concerning IT.
Before passing such a measure
IL seems apparent America should
nationally weigh the issues al
stake, and not let herself be STAN
peded by England, or by any other
country. In order to do this she
should adopt firm, clear set OF
policies as to her part in this war
I've should demand from Eng
i land full, accurate infOrma-
ton concerning her resources and
credits. The figures listed by the
federal reserve board seem to
contradict those Of Mr.. Morgen-
thau. The former list England as
having $4,000. 100000 OF transfer
able credits here and in her en-
pire. The secretary of the
treasury claims they have nothing
with which TO pay us for what
they ask. W ~ AZ s

tent OF her willingness to cooper.
