also predicted that half of the Re-
publcans also would approve it.
Since the fall of France. the
United States has impounded ST.
593000,000 of French assets in this
country and is closely guarding
them" Secretary Morgenthau re-
vealed.
The Secretary also testified that
the proposed increase in the United
States debt limit from S49 900, 900 900
TO sos 900, 900 900, now being consid-
cred in the House. will be ample to
meet Treasury needs until June 80.
1912, even though expenditures un-
| der the lease-lend bill will represent
obligations above that limit.
The extent of French credit that
has been frozen" by the admins
tration in this country was devel-
oped by Senator Connally, Demo-
crat, of Texas. when the Senator
pointed out that the release of those
assets while France is under the
control of Germany would be equiv
alent to aiding Germany. Secretary
Morgenthau said he would remain
the custodian as long as the Presi-
dent directs him to, and added that
/ the assets are being closely guarded.
! During questioning about powers
/ which would be conferred on the
President by the legislation, Mr.
Morgenthau remarked:
If we are ever so fortunate as to
get back to normal times. we
wouldn't need these provisions at
all I'm sure that President Roose-
welt would be the first to take the
initiative and seek their repel"
| Seen in Constitutional Conflict.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah asked whether proposed as
signment of repayments under the
bill to a revolving fund for Army
and Navy use was not in conflict
with constitutional provision
against appropriating military funds
for more than two years at a time.
I feel very strongly Secretary
Morgenthau said. that this is en-
tirely within the Constitution"
Senator Thomas contended that
if appropriations were made for
military equipment to be sent abroad
on credit, repayments might come
| in normal times" permitting the
Army and Navy to spend great
deal more than Congress might in
tend.
Secretary Morgenthau replied in
the affirmative when asked by Sena-
tor Connally whether it was not true
that mot a dime" of American
money had been supplied to Britain
and that the British had paid hard
cash" for all war materials to date.
AS a matter of fact Senator
Connally added, "the United States
is not aiding Great Britain at all
The British simply buy from our
manufacturers, who make a profit
on the orders"
That's correct" Mr.. Morgenthau
said.
That's the idea some folks have

the same three amendments on
which Mr.. Roosevelt was reported
receptive. The coincidence did not
pass without notice in legislative
circles.
(The text Of Senator Georges
address is on page A-16)
When the subject of an amend
ment against conveys arose at the
White House, a conferee recounted
Mr.. Roosevelt said he would not
object to such prohibition.
Ban Believed Unnecessary.
This conferee was of the opinion
however, that the prohibition was
| unnecessary because the President
could not institute a convoy system
unless there was cancellation OF
certain Neutrality Act proclama-
tions defining belligerent waters and
unless Congress made some other
changes in the law"
In a move not directly connected
with last nights conference, Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp.
shire today proposed three amend
ments to the bill which he predicted
would be approved by "non-isola.
zionist" Republican Senators.
First, like Senator George, he sug.
gested two-year limit on the pow,
ers that would be given the Presi
dent. In addition, he proposed tha
the aid be restricted to Britain
Greece, China and only such othe
countries as Congress might desig
nate Further, he urged a claus,
stipulating that no defense article.
or information be released to for,
eign countries without certiicatiol
by the Army chief of staff or chic.
of naval operations. Senator Bridge
also favored requiring the Presiden
to make periodic reports to Congress
on defense articles or information
released.

room, where he had been nursing
q cold and a botherSome sinus con-
dition since midday.
Whether the conference was Mr..
Roosevelt's idea was uncertain.
Speaker Rayburn had charge of all
arrangements, but he declined to
say whether the suggestion orig
mated with him or the President
Senator Barkley said afterwards
that "it was very friendly dis
cusSion."
Limit on Funds Considered.
Another conferee described how
the bill was carefully examined,
section by section, with amendment
proposals considered in the order
they would be inserted in the leg
| iSlation.
Besides the amendments which
found Mr.. Roosevelt receptive" t"
other major recommendations pre-
viously advanced in Congress in
clude a limitation on the amount
OF money to be spent under the
program, a requirement that Con-
gress approve the nations to be
aided, and the stipulation that no
supplies be transferred unless Amer
ican military experts first certify
that the deliveries do not impair
the domestic defense program.
MIR. RooSevelt's reported assertion
that he would use his powers only
to the extent military advisers
thought necessary appeared to be
in tacit accord with one of these
other three proposals.
Senator Barkley said the money
limit amendment received casual"
discussion, but there was a general
feeling that this question might
better be left for future decision
by Congress, inasmuch as Congress
would have to vote the appropria-
tionS to finance the lease-lend pro-
gram. Other congressional sources
however. report that the admins
tration does not look favorably on
proposals for fixing any financia,
ceiling.
Special Board Suggested.
Except for the amendments on
which Mr. RooSevelt'S attitude was
indicated, conferees did not mention
what lines the discussion had fol-
lowed on other proposals. Prior
to the conference. informed officials
said the agenda included a recon-
mendation for a special board OF
legislators and former legislators
to advise the President in admins
terlng the lease-lend program
Whether this was talked over could
not be asCertained.
While the conference was in ses-
sion, Chairman George of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit

Senator johnson, Republican, O.

members Of Congress.
Foley Explains Bills "FIexibility."
When Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican. of Michigan, sought to
show the only change the bill makes
in American aid to Britain is the
extension of credit, and asked If
that could not be accomplished BY
amending the cash requirement of
the Neutrality Act, Treasury Counse
Foley replied:
Il think the bill gives much more
1exibility than mere repeal of the
cash requirement"
He went on to explain that il
would take many months for fac
tories to turn out any new equipment
England might order now if Amer
lean aid was limited to extension ot
credit. The principal difference be.
tween repeal of the neutrality pro-
vision and this bill, he said, is thai
the President could make available
without delay supplies already
manufactured for this Government
Secretary Morgenthau said thai
mentally he had charged of
some time ago Britain's debt tc
the United States from the last
war, debt which now stands al
s5.72s, ,82l 900.
Replies to Vandenberg.
He made the statement in re-
sponse to question by Senator
Vandenberg. who said:
Il suspect you are prepared tc
charge those British debts of the
last war; of for keeps, aren't you?"

Senator Vandenberg developed thu
testimony that money spent under
this bill will be in addition to the
proposed new debt limit of sos 900. :.
100000, but Mr.. Morgenthau emphi.
sized that 1t would not be necessary
to raise the limit above that figure

have the Treasury head give rough
estimate of how much will be spent
under the bill. The Secretary said
he would rather not attempt to give
an estimate, because the picture may
change so rapidly.
Senator Vandenberg wanted to
know if British investments in South
America offer any opportunities for
collateral against aid the United
States will give under the bill.
Secretary Morgenthau said that if
it were the intent of Congress, it
might consider taking over the street
railways in the Argentine. or an oil
well in Mexico, but Il don't know
how valuable they would be-
What does the phrase, otherwise
dispose Of mean in the bill?" in
quired Senator Vandenberg.
Just what it says" the Secretary
answered. The section in question
empowers the President to sell,
transfer, lease. lend or otherwise dis
pose of articles of defense.
When the Senator asked if that
means gifts. the witness said not
. necessarily, but added that it could.
Mr.. Morgenthau's testimony came
after a White House conference
last night at which President Roose-
velt repeatedly told Republican and
Democratic legislative leaders that
while the bill would authorize him
to do anything under the sun. "
he had no intention of doing more
under 1t than was deemed necessary
by his Army and Navy advisers.
One conferee represented the
President as being in a very re-
ceptlve mood toward three of the
major amendments which have been
urged on Capitol Hill to curtail
somewhat the bills grant of powers.
Secretary Morgenthau told the
Senate that Great Britain will ex-
haust its dollar exchange assets In
meeting the s1,400 O0O.O 900 it will pav
American manufacturers on war
order in l94l.
1t has enough gold and dollar
exchange assets to meet these out
standing commitments" he said,
( but the British just haven't got the
dollars to take care of their addi-
tional needs"
The main purpose of the bill is to
enable the President to lease or
lend military equipment and other
supplies to Great Britain, or other
nations whose survival is deemed
essential to the United States.
The problem before us is not
whether the British have resources,
the Secretary continued. "Of course
they have, all over the world. The
problem is whether the British have
got the dollars they need. or can
get the dollars they need to spend
IN this country. That. gentlemen, is
the problem, as 1 see it
