Short Wheat Crop
May Stop U. S.
Exporting Supplies
Reserves on Hand
Will Prevent Shortage,
Department Says
the Associated Press.
Faced by the prospect of one of
the shortest winter wheat crops in
recent years, the United States soon
may withdraw from the world ex
port market to conserve supplies
for domestic use.
An Agriculture Department fore
cast of a 1940 winter wheat yield of
only 399.000.000 bushels—164,000,000
below this year’s normal crop of
563.000. 000—might result, farm offi
cials said, in a crop of 75,000.000 to
100.000. 000 bushels below needs for
the 1940 season.
Next year's harvest will depend
largely on weather conditions be
tween now and next summer and the
area planted to spring wheat.
Officials emphasize, however, that
there is no danger of a wheat short
age They estimate that there will
be an old-crop reserve of about 250,
000.000 bushels in storage next July,
when the 1940 crop starts moving to
market.
All wheat and flour sales to for-;
eign buyers so far this season have j
been made under the Agriculture
Department’s export subsidy pro
gram. Because American prices
have been above world levels, only
subsidized wheat has moved into ex
port channels, and some officials
predict that the subsidy program

leader, with Bertel Gronblom as
secretary. They are expected to
stay here at least two months.
Hjalmar Procope. Finnish Minister
to the United States, said recently
that his country could hold out
against the Russian invaders indefi
nitely if it could obtain credits for
vitally needed fighting airplanes and
other war materials.
The Star’s telegram to the mem
bers of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and the House Foreign
Affairs Committee read:
j-rioisuaaivsix ucic ui ui a
loan of 25 or 50 millions to Finland
against that country's long-term
bonds to enable purchase of military
supplies vitally needed for her con
tinued defense and the ultimate
security of Scandanavian nations.
Action to be effective must be
prompt and not delayed until Con
gress convenes.” The telegram re
quested a reply.
The Replies.
Favorable replies were received
from Senators Murray, Democrat, of
Montana; Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, and Guffey, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania, and Representative
Sol Bloom, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee: John
son, Democrat, of Texas; Chipper
field, Republican, of Illinois; Kee,
Democrat, of West Virginia, and
Richards, Democrat, of South Caro
lina.
Sympathy for Finland but oppo
sition to any foreign loans for mili
tary purposes was expressed by Sen
ator Van Nuys, Democrat, of Indi
ana, and Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa,
and Representative Fish, Republi
can. of New York; Arnold. Democrat,
of Illinois, and Schiffler, Republican,
of West Virginia.
One of the most vigorously favor
able replies came from Senator
Murray. He said:
“Finland has gained a unique po
sition among nations of the world by
its high standards of international
honesty and good faith. The thrifty,
hard-working, peaceful people of
rugged little Finland should have
the sympathy of all peace-loving
nations in their unequal struggle
against overwhelming Russian in
vaders.
“I favor an immediate and rea
sonable loan to enable Finland to
purchase needed military supplies
for the defense of their country.
The United States should pay this
little tribute of confidence and sym
pathy to Finland in its desperate
fight to maintain its freedom.”
Typical Opposing Reply.
Typical of the opposing replies
was the following from Mr. Fish,
ranking minority member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee:
“In view of the fact that Finland
Is the only European nation to pay
its debts to the United States, I
favor giving them food and cloth
ing in their emergency, but am
opposed to making any loans to any
foreign nation to buy arms and
ammunition.
“If we did it for Finland, why not
for England and France? I am
against the whole rotten traffic in
arms and ammunition for blood
money and war profits and thereby
being involved in foreign entangle
ments and wars.”
Among tnose remaining noncom
mittal was Representative Stearns,
Republican, of New Hampshire. He
said, “It is a worthy cause and a
rather dangerous precedent.”
Representative Allen, Democrat,
of Pennsylvania replied—"Fin
land's credit with us is good. In
my opinion we should extend credits,
but because of the delicacy of the
situation I believe that Congress
should be consulted.”
Finland a “Victim.”
Several others who expressed be.
lief that the matter should have
lull discussion in Congress before
any action was taken asked that
their names not be used. They said
that military loans to any belliger
ent nation would set a precedent,
possibly opening the way to further
involvement of the United States
In European affairs and that any
such important change in policy
should be studied from all angles
by Congress.
Expressions from those in favor
of immediate military loans to Fin
land included:
Senator Thomas of Utah—“Fin
land is not a belligerent in the
ordinary sense, but a victim of
aggression. Therefore. I favor the
proposed loan.”
Senator Guffey—“If there is ex
isting authority which would permit
the immediate loan of $25,000,000 or
$50,000,000 by this country to that
valiant nation, Finland, I am heart
ily in favor of doing so. This coun
try should do everything possible
and consistent to help the great
people of that nation.”
Representative Bloom—“The pos
sibility of the United States making
a loan to Finland against that coun
try’s long-term bonds so as to en
able the purchase of necessary sup
plies vitally needed for her con
tinued defense and the ultimate
•aeority of Scandinavian nations is,
in my opinion, amply justified and
would, I believe, meet with the
approval of the great majority of
the American people. I believe that
we can, under existing laws, make
such a loan.”
Loan Is Favored.
Representative Johnson of Texas
—"Finland being one of the few
foreign governments not in default is
eligible for loan under the Johnson
Act and I would be sympathetically
inclined toward loan if application
should be made.”
Representative Chipperfield —
“Would favor loan suggested in tele
gram to aid Finland and the ulti
mate security of Scandinavian na
tions.”
Representative Kee—“I am in
hearty accord with the suggestion
that a substantial loan be made by
the United States Government to
Finland, to be expended by the latter
country if it so wishes for military
supplies and other means of defense.
It is also my opinion that any loans
made or proposed to be made by
our Government to Finland should
be free from any reservations or re
strictions as to the purpose for
which the money is to be expended.
In other words, the purpose for
which the money is to be used
should be left to the discretion of
the Finnish government.”
“Risk in Behalf of Honesty.”
Representative Richards—“I am
strongly in favor of loan of either
$25,000,000 or $50,000,000 to Finland
against her long-term bonds to aid
that brave little country in its fight
against aggression and for the sa
cred institutions of home and self
government. Where could we find
a better moral risk than the Finns?
They have proven that in the past
by living up to their financial obli
gations to us to the letter. Such
a loan would show the world how
we deal with those who deal hon
estly with us and how much we ad
mire a people willing to die for home
and liberty. It is true Russia may
conquer Finland and, if so, this
debt will be repudiated as Russia
has repudiated other debts, but let
us take the risk in behalf of the
honesty, determination, bravery and
sacrifice of the Finnish nation and
the Finnish people.”
The opposing replies included:
Representative Arnold—“I would
not favor loans to Finland or any
other European country to provide
purchasing power for military sup
plies. My reasons are that we
should stay out of European affairs,
we should remain strictly neutral
and our own situation is such that
we should use our own resources to
provide for our own needs.”
Held Neutrality Violation.
Representative Schiffler—“Am in
complete sympathy with Finland in
her present unfortunate situation.
Unwilling to loan money and there
by ally ourselves in conflict in which
there is no immediate involvement
of American interests. Being at
peace with all involved nations the
giving of aid to one and denying
to another may rapidly lead to
serious complications. Such is in
j violation of section 1807, codified
international law and Neutrality
Act. Am vitally interested in pre
venting American involvement in
j European war and consider making
loans as first step toward active
military participation. Therefore, I
cannot favor such.”
Senator Van Nuys—“I am not in
favor of making such loans. It was
matters of this kind which drew us
into the World War. I shall be
guided in considering such matters
by the fundamental principle that
it is not up to the United States to
police the world or revamp Euro
pean and Asiatic governments.
"While our sympathies may be
with Finland and other unfortunate
nations in Europe I shall stick to my
original position that we should do
everything to keep us from becom
ing involved in the wars abroad. A
Finnish loan might prove an open
ing way to other loans which would
further involve us abroad. For
these reasons, I shall oppose a pro
posal to make such a loan if it
comes before the Foreign Relations
Committee.”
Senator Gillette.
Senator Gillette—“Your inquiry
re Finland loan proposal. Argu
ment for: 1. Overwhelming sym
pathy for sister democracy attacked
without semblance of justification.
2. Danger expansion and dominance
Communistic governmental philoso
phy. 3. Would show appreciation
Finland’s promptness in meeting
other debt obligations. Arguments
against: 1. Would be distortion of
existing loan authority for trade
expansion. 2. Definitely unneutral
and participation in existing war
with consequent possible retalia
tions. 3. If Finland vanquished,
bond security worthless by • victor
repudiation and loan total loss.
4. First unneutral step would
strongly urge further steps to show
sympathy and protect financial
stake. My immediate judgment
would be against proposal.”
One of the few noncommittal re
plies for publication came from Sen
ator Reynolds, Democrat, of North
Carolina. He said: ‘‘Have this mat
ter under advisement now and as
result do not care to commit myself
on subject. However, offhand, I
must confess that I am not aware
of any authority empowered to
make such a loan without consent
of Congress. Anyway, am looking
into matter.”
Other replies received by letter
or telegram, generally sympathetic
with Finland and the loan proposal,
requested on one ground or another
to be excused from speaking pub
licly at this time.
Meanwhile, Senator Hatch, Demo
crat, of New Mexico said in an Asso
rted Press interview that ‘‘in line
with every one in this country, I
have every sympathy with Finland,
but at the same time I think we
must proceed cautiously with any
thing that will involve us abroad.”
On the other hand, Senator Clark,
Democrat, of Idaho said he thought
this country had just as much
‘‘moral right to lend money to Fin
land for arms as it had to sell arms
to England and France for cash as
it is doing under the Neutrality
Act.”
Senator McKellar Favors
Canceling Finnish Debt
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 22 <A>).—
War-worried Finland can forget
about its $8,000,000 debt to the
United States if United States Sen- g
ator K. D. McKellar has his way. ; I
Senator McKellar told Reserve 1
officers here yesterday he planned g
to introduce a bill at the next ses
sion canceling Finnish obligations.

Loan to Finns Would Be
'Intervention/ Fish Says
By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Dec. 22.—Opposition to
a proposed Government loan of
$50,000,000 to Finland to purchase
war materials as “intervention, pure
and simple,” was voiced last night
by Representative Hamilton Fish,
Republican, of New York in an ad
dress at the Boston City Club.
Mr. Fish declared this was his
viewpoint, even though he favored
an R. F. C. loan of $10,000,000 to
Finland for buying non-war ma
terials and believed that all United
States relations with Soviet Russia
should be severed.
“Such a loan means intervention,
pure and simple." Mr. Fish said. “It
will put America on the road to
war, for England and France will
want the same thing. Our loans
to the allies in the last war, piore
than anything else, dragged us into
that conflict.”
Mr. Fish said he would like to see
a 30-day armistice declared so that
the warring nations could gather
around a conference table and set
tle their differences peacefully.
“Every day that fighting con
tinues,” he asserted, “the warring
nations are being bled, financially
and economically.
“If the war continues for two
years there can be only one victor— ;
Communism. It will sweep down on
all—on France as well as Germany.”
