No Barrier To Red Aid Is Advised
Washington informed officials said Edward R. Stettinius urged a House subcommittee considering the 5.985 billion lend-lease appropriation to reject prohibitions that would bar aid to Russia. He stressed it is not government policy to aid Russia now, but restrictive provisions would be unwise given future uncertainty. Senator Norris doubted war-declaration chances, predicting House rejection of war measures and urging careful study of neutrality repeal before any change. Rep. Fish planned to push a declaration of war resolution, while others expected no immediate action. Negotiations continued as debate on freedom of the seas and aid to belligerents persisted, with calls to trim the appropriation.
