Economic Defense Bill Moves to Senate Amid Debate
Washington is abuzz as a sweeping economic defense bill advances to the Senate. Provisions authorize a $2.5 billion loan authority for the Export-Import Bank to aid Latin American trade and resource development, plus $1.5 billion for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to support Eximbank loans and $1.9 billion for plant expansion. The bill extends the Eximbank’s term to January 27, 1947 and lifts the loan cap to any one country. House Republicans push for tighter amendments, while supporters argue defaulted debts reflect investments in regional growth and repayment is feasible under new funding.

AELD BANNED Sheds Light On Destroyer Sale Debate
Attorney General Jackson faces a statutory ban on selling or disposing of 560 destroyers to Great Britain. A three hour Justice Department meeting with Welles Bumson Knox Marshall and Stark explored the issue and the related base leasing question. The law bars sending warlike vessels from U S jurisdiction during neutrally conducted wars and paragraphs in the June 15 and June 28 1940 naval acts further restrict such transfers. Leaders in Congress suggest the sale by passage of a new bill. President Roosevelt lacks authority to lease western hemisphere bases without new legislation. Elizabeth Earl Warner experiences a single busy week of activities in England.
