Senate Takes
First Step
To Economy
National Defense
Items Slated
To Suffer Most
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
The Senate has taken the first
step toward a restoration of the in
dependence of Congress to its legis
lative function of controlling the
nurse strings of t
the Govern- :
ment. Will the
House back up
the Senate?
This question,
which started
wh e n Senator j
Pat Harrison
asked for the
appointment of
a b 1 p a r 11 san
committee of 24
from both
houses of Con
gress to study
tne president s - -
budget, has be- Darld Uvnut.
come paramount in the present ses
sion. It marks the recognition by
Congress ol a widespread public
sentiment, namely, that spending of
public funds should be attended by
far more scrutiny than has been
given it in the last seven years,
and that while the Executive may
recommend, it is really the duty
of the legislative branch of the
Government to decide what shall
or shall not be expended.
The time for co-ordination of
national expenditures by a syste
matic survey of the budget as a
whole has arrived in the judgment
of most members of Congress. They
wish to decide what the whole budg
et shall be like and not merely
confine themselves to particular
items as in the past.
In a sense, the biggest and most
salutary development in the present
situation is the fact that a previous
Congress set a debt limit of $45,
000,000.000. Mr. Roosevelt made
same sharp cuts in items which he
knew would displease certain mem
bers of Congress and, as Senator
Adams of Colorado, Democrat, said,
there must have been “a twinkle in
the President's eyes as he submitted
the budget to Congress.
If Congress attempts to raise some
of the items, it will be automatical
ly increasing the debt limit. If it
wants to restore the cuts. Congress
must penetrate the national defense
section of the budget. What really
has happened is that for the first
time since budgeting started about
20 years ago, Congress has been
compelled to look at the whole budg
et very much as a parliamentary
government does abroad. In such
circumstances the leadership has to
determine what the budget must in
clude.
Defense to Suffer Most.
It does look as if national de
fense recommendations will suffer
most, notwithstanding the war, but,
if they do not, then some of the
big subsidies will be curtailed and,
this being an election year, the
politicians on Capitol Hill may do
the suffering.
Senator Pat Harrison sensed the
situation—the strategy that the
Executive was adopting toward Con
gress—and immediately asked for
the joint House-Senate committee
to make the general study. Leaders
In the House are represented as
opposed to the appointment of a
special committee as likely to delay
consideration of appropriations.
But unquestionably the Republicans
in the House will support the meas
ure and, if they vote solidly for it.
there might be another 60 votes
from the Democratic side, especially
from among the conservatives.
Even though predictions of defeat
have been general, it seems incredi
ble that the House would publicly
refuse to agree to a Joint committee
study of the whole spending prob
lem and the budget, especially
when there is a debt limit to face.
No Opposition Interposed.
From a technical standpoint, the
administration has been publicly
inclined to go along with the re
quest for a budget study by a joint
House-Senate committee, and cer
tainly no opposition was interposed
by the administration in the Senate
where the proposal carried by an
overwhelming vote. If the admin
istration were to use its influence to
have the measure defeated in the
House, this would be apparent in
the voting. The Republicans would
then certainly make political capi
tal out of the refusal by adminis
tration leaders to give the budget
the new form of study that is being
sought by the Senate. Indeed, it is
not unlikely that, in the event of
House defeat, the Senate might
conduct its inquiry anyway, though
such a disagreement would un
doubtedly mean a longer session
and delay in an election year,
when the administration is anxious
to see an early adjournment of
Congress.
But after the study, what? The
chances are that the President will
win his point with respect to hold
ing the budget to $8,400,000,000, but
he is likely to find that the Congress
can play at the same sort of strategy
and begin making cuts in projects
which various New Deal agencies
would not like to see diminished.
Certainly it appears that the debt
limit will not be exceeded, for neither
political party wants to take respon
sibility for the increase beyond the
45 billions. The next President
would then have to face the question
of further deficits or a balanced
budget, and it would not be surpris
ing if the next President shifted
complete responsibility for balancing
the budget to the Congress, where
it really belongs. The budget can
always be balanced whenever Con
gress decides to do so. The Execu
tive has no power to appropriate
public funds—only to disburse what
Congress has ordered. It is a simple
lesson in government, yet it has not
been taken to heart till this session
of Congress.

Attendance at the Boys’ Club of
Washington in 1939 was 738.830—
greatest in the organization’s his
tory and 143,057 more than the
figure for 1938, it was announced
yesterday by Charles M. Fyfe, man

Of the 1939 total, he said, the
Southeast Club had 359,401, the
Central Club 156.886, the George

Still Time to Replace
Treaty, Say Japanese
E> tb* AtsocUted Prcu.
TOKIO, Jan. 11.—Yakichiro Su
ma, spokesman of the Japanese for
eign office, declared yesterday there
was “still ample time” to arrange a
means of continuing Japanese
American trade before expiration
of the commercial treaty with the
United States January 26.
“It is a matter now of cordiality
and friendship on both sides,” he
said at a press conference. “Some
thing should be done.”
Suma avoided specifying whose
move was next, but it Was noted
that Foreign Minister Admiral
Kicliisaburo Nomura, who has con
ferred several times lately with
United States Ambassador Joseph
C. Grew, had no present appoint
ments with the American diplomat.
Suma said "Japan always has
been cordial and our people through
out China are doing their best to
settle cases” of bombings of Amer
ican property and similar incidents.
There have been no such settlements
reoently, however.
The Capital Parade
Handsome Loan to Finland Awaits
Initiative of President
By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER.
If the President and the State Department would take the initiative
in proposing it, a handsome loan to Finland would probably go through
Congress like a breeze. The real mystery is why the Initiative has not
been taken, considering the President’s known sympathies, the anguished
appeals of the able Finnish Minister, HJalmar Procope, and the desperate
need of the Finns.
In the Senate, for example, private expressions of approval for a.
loan of $50,000,000 or $60,000,000 have already come from such influential
Democrats as the majority leader, Alben W. Barkley; the chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee, Key Pittman, and the majority’s ablest
strategist, James F. Byrnes, 'ine
chieftain of the Republicans, Charles
L. McNary, is not adverse to a
loan, so long as it is not specifically
announced as being for armaments.
The vice chieftain, Warren R.
Austin, is expected to be personally
active in promoting the loan idea.
Every one of these men is
convinced that a Finnish loan bill
would pass the Senate without
serious, ^opposition, unless the ex
ireme isolationists should suddenly change their present tune. When
the Republican caucus recently discussed the question, the sole discordant
note was struck by Senator John A. Danaher of Connecticut, who has
many Poles in his State and remarked that, if we were to lend money to
the Finns he did not see why the Poles should not have some, too. Only
three days ago, at an important conference, Senate leaders of both parties
agreed that all that was now required was for the President to give the
go signal.
Chinese Parallel
Indeed, the Senate leaders went still further. Senators Barkley and
Pittman are reported to have stated they were surprised they had heard
nothing on the sabject from the White House, but imagined that the
President would get round to it in time. The leadership of the House,
where the bill should originate, is understood to want to avoid the issue.
But the House is not only more responsive to the President's requests;
it is also likely to be influenced by sentiment in the Senate, within whose
natural province fall questions of foreign relations.
Thus it is plain that the President has it in his power to help the
Finns if he chooses to give the word. Bills for this purpose have already
been Independently introduced in both House and Senate, by Representa
tive Frank E. Hook and Senator Prentiss Brown, both of Michigan. They
only lack the administration imprimatur, or, if they are not found suit
able, other bills can be introduced tomorrow.
Furthermore, a perfectly good precedent already exists for lending
to the Finnish government. Last year, after a long struggle, Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr., obtained the President's approval
for an Export-Import Bank loan of $25,000,000 to the Chinese. The
Chinese were just as much at war then as the Finns are now. Arrange
ments were made for amortization in shipments of tung oil, but some sort
of satisfactory arrangement for amortization of the Finnish loan could
also be made. The Chinese loan was obviously political; the Finnish loan
would not be more so. In fact, the parallel is exact, except that a Finnish
loan would require congressional action, where the Chinese loan did not.
'After You'
Financing through the Export-Import Bank is at present not avail
able to the Finns, both because the bank's cupboard is pretty bare, and
because its directorate has taken the
position that the bank will make no
loans for arms purchases.
But a direct t60.000.000 loan to
the Finnish government, without
strings attached, such as is proposed
in the Brown and Hook bills, would
certainly not be opposed either by
the State Department or the Presi
dent. Minister Procope's appeals
have been received in most friendly
spirit, both by the President and by
: Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles. The Finnish need for foreign
I loans is now desperate, as was made clear in Prime Minister Risto Rvti's
speech of Monday. Possibly the President will decide to give the loan
plan a push after all.
At present, the difficulty is that the President and the congressional
leadership are playing a game of "After you, Alphonse." Each says that,
if the other will only take the lead, all will be well. Unless one decides to
go ahead and do so, nothing will be accomplished.

The Political Mill
Senate Opponents Stand Ready
‘To Filibuster Anti-Lynching Bill to Death
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.
As was fully expected, the House
has passed the Qavagan-Flsh anti
lynching bill. The vote was 251 to
132. Now it goes to the Senate—
where is it not
expected to
pass. Not be
cause there is
an insufficient
number of votes
in that body
favorable to the
measure to pass
it. but because
the opponents of
the bill stand
ready to “fili
buster” the bill
to death if
necessary.
me cnarge
Was flatly made O. Oaald Lincoln,
in the House debate that the anti
lynching bill has become a political
gesture — supported by members,
both Democratic and Republican,
from the North and West in the
hope of winning the votes of the
Negro voters in those sections of
the country. This charge was made
by members from the Southern
States, who proclaimed themselves
Just as violently opposed to lynch
ings as the supporters of the meas
ure, but Insisted that the bill was
a clear violation of the Constitution
and States' rights.
Opponents of the bill pointed out
that last year only three had been
lynched in the whole United States
—as clear evidence that sentiment
against mob violence has made such
headway in all parts of the country
there is no reason for a Federal
statute dealing with lynching. They
contended that the States—those
of the South as well as those of
the North and West—are handling
the lynching evil themselves— and
that under the Constitution it is the
duty of the States and not of Fed
eral Government to deal with such
matters.
wniy « laying ruiuii's.
The supporters of the bill denied
that they were playing politics In
advocating the passage of the antl
lynchlng bill, Insisting they had In
mind only the prevention of mob
violence, which has been responsible
for a great number of l.vncntngs In
the past.
There was one revealing Incident
in the debate, however, Representa
tive Mitchell of Illinois, a colored
member of the House, attacked the
Republican members of the House
who were going to vote for the bill
on the ground that they intended
so to vote for the purpose of win
ning back to the Republican fold
the Negro voters in the North and
West. Mr. Mitchell Is a Democrat.
And Mr. Mitchell wants the Negro
voters to support the Democratic
party. It is difficult to understand
why Republicans from the North
and West who vote for the anti
lynching bill must be charged with
playing politics with the Negro vote,
when Democrats from those sec
tions who also vote for the bill are
not to be so charged.
This Is an election year. In New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, for
example, there are large numbers
of Negro voters. So numerous are
they that they could easily hold the
balance of power in these pivotal j
States, If they all stuck together, j
So the record the parties make in
Congress on this anti-lynching bill,|
which has been demanded again
and again as a protection to Negroes!
from mob violence in the South, is
held to be Important.
The Democratic party Is in charge
In Congress—with a tremendous
majority in the Senate. Yet it is
clear to all that if the anti-lynching
bill is to fail at the present session
'of Congress it will be because of
the stout; opposition of the Demo
cratic Senators from the South.
There are no Republican Senators
from that section of the country.
The Republicans in the Senate will
support the measure—as they did in
the House—almost to a man. Sena
tor Borah of Idaho is an exception.
He does not believe the bill is con
stitutional and made his record
against a similar measure when it
j came up the last time in the Senate,
| only to fail.
Senator Connally of Texas, who
i played a leading part in the last
filibuster which killed an anti
lynching bill in the Senate, is plan
ning now to kill this one. He will
ask for hearings before the Judi
ciary Committee, to which the bill
Is expected to be referred. He will
have the committee go into the
lynching cases of last year—two in
number, two men were lynched to
gether for one alleged crime. Com
mittee hearings consume time—and
can be made to consume a lot of
time.
The opponents of the antl-lynch
ing bill are in better case to fight
the measure than on the last oc
casion—a couple of years ago. At
that time an agreement had been
obtained to make the anti-lynch
ing bill a special order of busi
ness. and it became the unfinished
business. But no such agreement
exists now. The opponents of the
measure can and will make their
fight right from the drop of the
hat, on any motion to take it up.
They can, if they wish, filibuster
not only the motion to take up;
they can filibuster the reading of
the journal of the Senate itself—
as was done a number of years ago,
when an earlier effort was made
to put through the Senate a simi
lar bill.
Auminisirauon Leaders cool.
Administration leaders are not
elated over the idea of having the
anti-lynching bill brought into the
Senate at the present session. They
know that it will lead to a knock
down. drag-out fight, with the prob
abilities against the final passage
of the bill. The supporters of the
bill outside of Congress, how'ever,
are intent upon having the bill
taken up in the Senate and pressed
to a vote. They are likely to point
out to the Democratic majority that
the bill is their baby, and that it
is up to the Democrats to get it
through.
The record of lynchings in this
country is not a pretty thing to look ;
at. Yet when the record is brought
down to date, it shows that lynch- I
lugs not only have been on the
wane, but have nearly been elimi
nated. The assertion is made by
opponents of the Federal anti
lynching bill that the passage of
such legislation may result easily
In increasing lynchings—and the
crimes for which men are lynched.
In the period from 1882 to 1892,
the average number of lynchings
per year was 155; from 1893 to i
1903, 133 each year; from 1904 to
1914, 89 each year; in 1925, there I
were 20 lynchings; in 1936, 9: in j
1937, 8; In 1938, 6, and in 1939,
2 lynchings with 3 lives taken.
There should no no lynchings—
not one, or two or three, in a year.

This Changing World
Nazi Subs Expected to Re-open Campaign;
Germans May Step In to "Save1 Soviet
By CONSTANTINE BBOWN.
The Germai\ submarines, which have shown little activity In the last
few weeks, will start an intensified campaign early in February.
They had been recalled to their home bases before Christmas to give
crews a furlough and to refit the ships. This last operation Is almost
completed now and the U-boats will be let loose in a few weeks.
Premier Chamberlain spoke on Tuesday about an Intensification of
the war early In the spring. According to the best advice that can be
obtained from Berlin, the Germans do not intend to take the offensive
In the near future. They have enough forces to sit tight behind the
Siegfried Line. The principal German activity In the west will be naval—
an attempt to impair the supply of Great Britain from across the leas.
Finns Get Anxious for Help
The Finnish government Is getting nervous. The artay has put up
a defense which has astounded the world. It has captured from the
aamorautea Russian aivisions much
war material—mostly of little use to
the Finns. The lack of war ma*
terials begins to make itself felt
in the Finnish Army. The Helsinki
government has received many
promises from the members of the
League of Nations and from the
United States, but for the time
being, with the exception of a few
Italian planes and some more or
less negligible quantities ui nai
materials, nothing has been forthcoming.
France and Great Britain formally have promised to rush supplies.
The Finns hope that there will be no delay and the needed war parapher
nalia will arflve before It la too late.
The Russians, after the first defeat, are reorganising themselves
as fast as their cumbersome methods permit. It appears that Tovarlsh
Stalin is readv to swallow his pride and ask the Germans to send an
Important military mission to get Russia out of her present predicament.
Much as the German general staff dislikes to help the Soviets against
Finland, Hitler Is not likely to Ignore the pleas of the Mus
covites. A refusal to co-operate would throw Russia Into the arms of
the alUes and the raw materials the Reich expects to get out of than
country would-be lost. It Is true that for the time being the Russian ex
ports to Germany are Inconsequential. But, the Germans hope, In the
course of time, when the Russian transportation system has been taken
over by German specialists, the huge Soviet territory will become an In
exhaustible source of supply for the Reich.
Mission Seeks Co-operation Basis
An "exploring" military mission arrived In Moscow today. The role
of this mission Is to discuss with the Russian general staff and the princi
pal members of the Communist party the basis of the German-Russlan
co-operation for the thorough reorganization of the Russian Army. It Is
reported that the Germans Intend to suggest that Russian forces, the
best available, be sent Immediately to the Finnish front and concentrate
their activity on one spot only. While the Finns will thus be kept busy, the
Germans intend to send an Important military mission—if Stalin signs
on the dotted line giving the Ger
mans discretionary powers—to put
the Soviet house in order.
In diplomatic quarters, It Is be
lieved the Germans will urge Stalin
to offer some “generous” peace terms i
to the Finns. Foreign Minister von J
Ribbentrop is anxious to gain an- A
other diplomatic victory and carry 1
the olive branch to Helsinki. 4
The Finns, the Oerman foreign ]
office believes, are willing to listen to
peace proposals if such proposals would leave their country at least nomi
nally Independent.
Ribbentrop hopes to kill two birds with one stone: Rehabilitate the
much damaged Russian prestige and establish once more German in
fluence in Finland.
It is uncertain as yet whether Stalin will be willing to sign on the
dotted line: whether he is prepared to accept the war plans of the German
general stall which intends to assign to the Soviets an important role in
the Near and Middle East, and whether he wants German specialists to
run his country in a goose step manner.
Sharecropper Protest
Unlikely in Missouri
By the Associated Praia.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., Jan. 11.
—Belief there would be no repe

Southeast Missouri was expressed
here by the Rev. Owen Whitfield,
colored leader of that celebrated
mass protest against low economic

After a tour of this cotton sec

found most land owners were co
operating with Oov. Lloyd C. Stark,
who last week asked them to “de
lay any eviction proceedings" until
February 1, at least, while the State
and Federal Government attempt
ed to solve the problem through a
resettlement program.
“We don't want to demonstrate
in the cold and snow,” he declared.
Today is the annual “moving

of Missouri.
