Ultimate Approval Of Loan Foreseen Hew extensive the. opposition was could not be determined, al though it was understood that a number of the senators who op posed the president's neutrality aet revision bill were apprehen sive lest a loan to Finland be used later as a precedent for leans to other warring nations. The general feeling was. how ever, that In view of the wide spread American sympathy for the little Baltic state in Its con flict with Russia, Mr. Roosevelt would ultimately have his way and assistance to Finland be ap proved. The chief executive wrote: "An extension of credit at this time does not in any way consti tute or threaten any so-called 'in volvement' in European wars. That much can be taken for granted. Implements of War Would B Excluded It see e ma. to me the most reas onable approach would be action by the congress authorizing an increase- in ' the revolving credit fund of the export-import bank to enable it to finance exportation of the agricultural surpluses and manufactured products, not in cluding Implements of war. "It is wholly within the discre tion of the congress to place a catling on the amount of such loans. Whether this legislation should Include an additional in crease in the revolving credit fund ol the export-import bank, in or der to provide for additional loans to increase our trade with South and Central America, is also with ls the- discretion of congress." Browder to Face Passport Charge (Continued from Page 1) tained and used a passport through false representations. His indictment followed his acknowledgement, last September . before the Dies committee in Washington that he had traveled abroad on a passport bearing a fictitious name, and his invocation Of bis constitutional rights to void giving the committee the de tails. Four other communists, three of them ' important party function aires, likewise have been indicted, but their trials have been put down for later dates. Just how Dozenberg small, middle-aged and in appearance oddly commonplace for a man who is claimed by the government to have had a dangerous career as a resourceful agent of the soviet se cret police will enter the case was not officially disclosed. It Was the name "Nicholas Do rm berg," among others, however, which Browder is accused of hav ing affixed to a passport for him self; and to Dozenberg federal authorities have unofficially attri buted the most singular narrative of their long investigation of the travel activities of communists.

Y PART OF THE FEATURES In "5 . o) s 1) ULRJ Jaauary - 17, 194a McNary Disagrees With Pact Report Oregon Senator Sees Harm to Northwest in Trade) Treaty Operations WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. -)-Senator McNary (R-Ore) branded as "misleading" today a state de partment Review ot "benefits to Oregon from the reciprocal trade agreements." "Oregon Is both directly and indirectly dependent upon foreign commerce for continued econom ic development and sustained prosperity," the department said after pointing out that foreign trade declined nearly $5,000,000 from 1929 to 1933, a year before inauguration of the trade agree ments program. "Total exports reported as or iginating in Oregon fell from $70,000,000 in 1929 to $16,000, 000 In 1933," the review said. "As the volume of exports from Ore gon, and the United State as a whole, dropped, purchasing pow er throughout the state was re duced, large surplus accumulated and prices fell. The total account able income of Oregon fell from $606,000,000 in 1929 to $326, 000,000 in 1932 and cash farm income declined from $136,000, 000 to $54,000,000 between the same two years." "This statement is very mis leading and does not reveal the injury done to Oregon by virtue of the reciprocal trade agreement program," McNary said. "Twenty three trade agreements each re duced the tariff on our agricul ture commodities but each foreign government lowered its duties only once. By virtue of the trade agreement with Great Britain and Canada the lumber market for forest products has been crippled to the point of hopelessness." McNary recalled a petition to the state department by more than 90 western lumber firms asking for a re-opening of the Ca nadian agreement to propose Its modification. The petition said that "with the discount in ex change, the American lumber In dustry Is altogether helpless to meet western Canadian competi tion in the markets of the United States." Landon Hits FDR Accounting Plan (Continued from Page 1) do under his emergency powers. "First, he can authorize issu ance of $1,360,000,000 of silver certificates backed by the silver reserve in the US treasury. Then he has authority to issue $3,000, 000,000 worth of greenbacks. "Then he can borrow $50,000, 000,000 or any part of it that might be needed from the fed eral agencies-and thus detour the treasury bookkeeping. This funny bookkeeping system will put off the day of reckoning until after the election." Landon said such borrowings on securities guaranteed by the government would not be a part of the nation's visible debt and therefore not subject to the stat utory limit of $45,000,000,000.
