House Due 10 Receive
7 Proposals Limiting
lease-Lend Measure

Two members of the House were
expected today to offer restrictive
amendments to the pending measure
to extend for another year beyond
June 80 lease-lend aid to the Allies.
Debate on the measure produced
a series of acrimonious exchanges
on the floor yesterday. A vote on
the bill Is expected tomorrow
Representative Mundt, Repub-
lican, of South Dakota announced he
will propose an amendment requir-
ing a congressional review of any
postwar international agreement
signed by the executive branch to
terminate or settle lease-lend con-
tracts.
An amendment stipulating that
Congress shall have the final au-
thority to determine the disposition
of lease-lend materials will be pro-
posed by Representative Rogers,
Republican, Of Massachusetts,, who
commented yesterday, Nobody
knows whether they the Allies will
still be allies at the end of the war"
The controversy yesterday was
touched of by Representative
Elmer. Republican, of Missouri in
his questioning of Chairman Bloom
Of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Elmer Answered on "Rumor."
Mr.. Elmer demanded to- know If
a rumor he heard was true-that
United States goods were shipped to
Russia through the Japanese block
ade, and the Russians turned it over
to the Japanese. Representative
Wadsworth, Republican. of New
York and Mr.. Bloom promptly de-
MED it.
Mr.. Elmer asked also about "ru-
mors" that lease-lend had been mis-
handled to the benefit of Britain
and the disadvantage of the United
States and asked why MIR. Blooms
committee did not hear the five
Senators who returned from a tour
of the battle fronts with some of
these stories.
Didn't you want to find out the
truth?" MIR. Elmer shouted.
I'VE got the truth, and not from
the Senators, but from the real au-
thorities and there's not an atom
of truth to these rumors," Mr. Bloom
shot back.
Representative Calvin D. john
son, Republican, of Illinois inter-
posed. well, it has reached the
point where five or six get together.
call themselves allies and come to
Washington with a satchel"'
Representative Knutson, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota questioned
whether other nations contribu-
tions to the Allied war effort are
comparable with Americas, and Mr..
Bloom said:
well, now, they have contributed
blood. They have made great sacri-
fees. wouldn't measure it in dol
lars"
Gallery Applauds Bloom.
Mr.. Knutson asked, How about
the future of American"
Don't you ever sell America
Short Mr.. Bloom shouted, and the
galleries, crowded with men in uni
form, burst into applause.
Representative Lewis, Republican,
Of Ohio declared:
1--WE must demand unequivocalI
promises now-such as access to
bases-and now is the time to get |
them. Let's get them now while the
getting's good" 4
However, Representatives promi-
nent in both major parties -includ-
ing Mr.. Bloom for the Democrats
and Mr.. Wadsworth and Represent
ative Eaton, Republican, of New Jer-
sey for the Republicans - urged
adoption of the bill extending lease
lend, to June, 1915. Mr.. Wadsworth /
called it. "a magnificent weapon of
warfare" -

Eastern West Virginia was held
yesterday in the regional Office at
1112 Church Street. Thirty-fve

The principal speakers were
Ernest Pugh, regional CLIO direc-
tor; George Baldanzi, TWUA execu-
tive vice president; John Edelman,
Washington representative of the
national union, and DR.. ID. ID. Holt,
pastor of the local Centenary
Methodist Church.

cal action, local union financial
matters and new organization.
Brother Edelman stressed the
Importance of continuing our fight
for an adequate subsidy bill and
pointed out that the fight to hold
down the cost of living was just
as necessary as the fight TO Sc

that his church advocated equal
rights for all people, regardless
of race, creed or color, advocated
fair share Of the products of
industry for all people and real
