10 give away 100000 600 why

British and give it 10 those
men. women and children of-the
world who are desperately m

Why should the British seek

Let me also quote this col
loquy
Senator Wheeler: The point

tions are such in Europe that

parts of Asia, such rs there has
never been in the history of the

mendous buying power i'm this
country and throughout the
world. The world has been
starved for clothing for four ar
five years and the backlog Of

iS simply enormous"
Mr.. Clayton attempted 10 de-
fend Great Britain'S boarding
OF woolenS and other materials
on the ground that the British
have TO build up their export
trade. Why not export the
wool? What lies before Us is
the simple fact that they seek
10 borrow S4,000,000.OO0 when
they can actually get the same
number Of dollars by selling Us
their wool or most of IL.
And they have by now other
products TO Sell-SureS, jutc,
tin and rubber.
From the facts in the Siiua-
non, il is clear that the United
States has TO decide whether
Great Britain is TO get $4,000
100000 for nothing or whether
1t is TO put up something for
that amount of dollars. II
would seem as though a proud

fuse TO take something for
