as a state on February 14; 18S9,
news was sent by overland mall
to San' Francisco and from there
on the steamer -"Brother Jona

Lending Proposal Is '

WASHINGTON, June 24.-UP)-
Presldent Roosevelt's proposal to
lend 1500,000,000 to foreign coun
tries to promote American trade
brought a blast of criticism in the
senate today, even before the ad
ministration's new lending legisla

Senator Borah (R-Ida). r 73-
year-old dean of the senate, told
his colleagues - that the foreign
loans would be equivalent to turn
ing our. "vast millions of the tax
payers money for south American
politicians to play wlth.
He said that South American
loans were In default of both prin
cipal and interest and asserted
that Via many Instances no effort
is being made to pay them."
Senator Taft (R-Ohlo); voiced
criticism of foreign loans and Sen
ator Lucas (D-Ill) told the senate
that It was "a dangerous practice
to permit the' export-import bank
to make loans to foreign, nations

(amheTlain Says Britain
Cannot Let Dictation
Be Permitted
By J. C. 8TARK '
LONDON. Jane 24-VUnder
mounting pressure from an Indig
nant public, the British govern
ment Indicated today a showdown
was annroaehlnsr with Japan over
treatment of Britons la China, de
spite dangers threatening the Brit
ish-French front at two other vi
tal points.
The two most important factors
staying Britain's hand In the or
ient have been:
1. The virtual 'Impasse reached
in Brttlsh-F r e n e h negotiations
with soviet Russia for a mutual
assistance agreement.
2. Increasing signs that Ger
many is waiting for Britain to be
come involved in the far east to
provide a favorable moment for a
nan coup In the Free City ol Dan
zig. Retaliation Held
Necessary
Most British ministers, however.
were said in usually informed
quarters to be convinced retalia
tory measures were necessary soon
to end what Prime Minister Cham
berlain called "intolerably insult
ing treatment of British subjects
by Japanese soldiers."
The prime minister, addressing
a conservative party rally at Car
diff, declared that "No British
government can tolerate that its
nationals should be subjected ii
such treatment as were have heard
of in Tientsin and no British got-
ernment could submit to dictation
from another power as to Its for-
algapolicy..' r
He expressed "Trusty therefore.
that we are right in supposing that
no such intention is in the mind of
the Japanese government and that
it has no Intention of condoning a
group of acta of its soldiers and
no Intention of challenging the
rights and interests of the British
people in China."
He said the Tientsin dispute
was "further complicated by pub
lic statements on the part of local
Japanese officials making the In
cident a pretext for far-reaching
and quite inadmissible claims for
an alteration of policy which we
and other governments hitherto
followed in these regions."
Chamberlain Avoids
Direct Threat
Chamberlain avoided a direct
threat of retaliatory action against
Japan but government expert
were busy preparing prospective
economic measures for the cabinet
foreign affairs committee to con
sider Monday.
Chamberlain said when he com
pared Britain's armed forces to
day and her ability to resist attack
with what it was only a year ago
he felt the-future could be faced
with calm confidence in our
growing strength."
Our navy is today the most
powerful in the world, our army
is dally increasing in numbers and
in efficiency of equipment, our air
force has expanded at a rate far
beyond our expectations while in
the quality of its personnel, the
speed and power of its machines it
is unexcelled by the air force of
any other country, '
"That fourth arm, civil defense.
also has made great progress and
now rapidly is organizing Itself to
function smoothly and effective-
fly if an emergency should arise,"
he said.
Unless Japan , shows signs of
greater moderation in her policy
toward Britain and the statement
of British subjects In China, the
government is expected to decide
on some form of retaliation next

WASHINGTON, June 24r (JPi
Administration leaders talked
hopefully today of breaking the
legislative logjam in the Senate
after silver bloc senators agreed
to qnlt talking about the pend
Inc monetary bill long enough
to vote on a silver amendment
Monday.
The vote will be on an amend
ment by Senator Pittman (D
Nev) which would order the
treasury to pay $1.27 an ounce
for silver mined domestically,
or nearly double the present
treasury price of 4.64 cents.
Senators from western states
had held the floor for six days
and blocked every attempt to
reach a vote until they acceded
today to a "request from majori
ty leader Barkley (D-Ky) . for
vote at 12:30 p.m. (EST) Mon
day on the Pittman amendment.

Barkley and other adminis
tration leaders are anxious to
complete action on the mone
tary legislation because it
would continue for two years
present powers that expire Jane
80. These Include presidential
power to further devalue the
dollar and the treasury's au
thority to operate the $2,000
000,000 subluxation fund.
Barkley, who has termed the
lenghthy silver debate a filibus
ter, said the agreement to vote
"Is progress."
However, Senator McCarran
(D-Nev), one t the silver bloc
leaders, told - reporters - that a
vote on the Pittman amendment
would not halt discussion of the
bill.
McCarran said it wa.-. doubt
ful the Senate would -Accept
the 1.27 price for sliver and
pointed out that other silver
amendments, including his own
proposing $1.04 an ounce, were
pending.
Senator Thomas (D-Okla), who
has been urging issuance of $z
000,000,000 additional currency
and a "cheaper dollar" policy as
part of the monetary legislation,
agreed with McCarran.
In a statement after -the ses

present silver price ''Is a starva

not be dependent upon an execu
