Washington debates over increased American war aid to Great Britain trigger a looming congressional clash. Morgenthau to confer with Britain on Monday, and senators from both parties attack using the stabilization fund for South American loans. Roosevelt may seek January congressional action to redefine U S financial policy toward the British empire amid warnings that England’s dollar resources are exhausted.
