FAR N BILL
GETS VETOED
Roosevelt Declares legis-

WASHINGTON, April Brand
ing it full of infiationary dangers,
President Roosevelt has vetoed the
Bankhead bill to increase farm
prices by excluding benefit pay
ments and figuring farm parity
price formulas.
Returning the message unsigned
to the Senate, the President said
Il am compelled to take this ac-
ton by deep convictions the meas
ure is inflationary in character
and breaks down the barrier we
erected and which must be MAIN
tanned in order to avoid all disas-
tiers OF initiation
The measure is wholly inconsis-
tent with our sterilization program,
therefore dangerous alike to our
constructive farm policy and our
whole war effort"
1t was estimated the measure
would add approximately one bill
lion and one-half dollars to the
Nations food bill.
1t takes a thirds vote of
both the House and Senate to
override the Presidents veto.

LONDON, April 1.-The Axis is

However, the American Medical
Association, which operates pow

on this plan as step toward so

British Helped Put
DemoGaey's Arsenal
On Buy-Buy Footing
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, April 2. = The
British Purchasing Commission,
through Lord Halifax, Ambassador
to the United States, has just
made public some figures that are
food for thought.
In view of the threatened re-
volt against Lease-Lend, it's safe
guess that they not only were time
ly-they were timed There never
was any doubt about the contlnu-
ance of Lease-Lend cas- the 407-
too vote in the House Indicated
but the fact that someone thought
there might be was enough to bring
out an indication of just how I'M
portant the Russians and the Brit
ish consider this phase of our war
program.
Instead of expressing indignation
over Admiral Standley's intimation
that the Russian people hadn't been
fully informed of the extent OF our
aid, the Soviet government rushed
out with an about explanation OF
every ounce of aid the British and
we have given them.
But BPC and Lord Halifax were
a Jump ahead Already they had
written into the record that Great
Britain, since 1889, has spent APP
proximately ga billions dollars for
war supplies in this country and
that nearly quarter of a billion
of that was spent solely for new
plants and plant expansions-and
most of that before Pearl Harbor.
Thus, 16 months before we were
actually plunged into war, the Brit
ish were pouring millions into ex-
pansion of 1.-The arsenal of Democ-
racy'' and laying the groundwork
for the remarkable production rec
ord we have set since December 8,
1941.
A little more than half the total
sum has been spent with aircraft
factories. This approximate ST.
750, 100000 may not seem like much
in view of Congressional appropria-
tions for Army and Navy aircraft
now, but the natural question is:
Where would we be today if the
British hadn't started the ball roll
ing?
1t may stagger those who like to
think that Henry Kaiser is purely
an American product to learn that
he got his start as a .shipbuilder
on British money
The British Merchant Shipbuild-
ing Mission came here with an Or
der for go Liberty ships-almost
the same in design as those being
turned out today. Unable to get
the job done with the shipyards we
had, they suggested building new
ones at Richmond, Calf, and Port
