amendments would be offered, in
cluding one to forbid the presi

Brit Mi Order for 3000
Planes Meld in Abeyance
Morgenthau told tbe senate
foreign relations committee that
British orders for 2000 fighting
planet were being held In abey
ance because the British lacked
enough dollar exchange. He also
said that In order to pay for the
war equipment already- ordered.
British citizens had arranged to
sell "every bit" of property they
own In the United States within
1 months. When Senator Clark
(I-Mo asked whether this in
cluded New York real estate hold
ings of Lord aad Lady Astor, he
asserted:
"If Lord and Lady Astor own
real estate In New York, their as
sets will be on the auction block
along with all the others."
Morgenthau waa the target of
evere questioning by senators
critical of administration for
ebra policy. In response to
queries, he said be had charged
tbe Brltlah World war debt off
"attentally long; ago, bat he did
tot "necessarily" Intend to do

tions contemplated under the
bill.
Morgenthau said that unless
congress passed. tbe lease-lend bill
"there Is nothing for England to
do but stop fighting."
The war equipment which Great
Britain has already ordered from
American manufacturers will end
her ability to pay cash in this
country, he said, and if the flow of
fighting materials Is to continue,
some formula must be worked out.
Tbe lease-lend measure, be added,
was tbe best formula that has been
suggested.
"Tbe decision rests with the
congress ot the United States." be
said, "whether Great Britain.
Greece and China continue to
fight."

"Yea," waa the ataccato reply.

"I think It's oae of the most
critical periods la the history of
the world," he said. j
Asserting that Germany had
never yet brought her full aerial
power to bear, he said that only
by faster production could the
United States send more aircraft
to the beleaguered Island. As! to
whether any equipment 'now own

"We have tfeed for all the modern

also became a matter for the
county delegation'a attention on
Tuesday when It received a letter
from Circuit Jndge I H. McMa
han. proposing that tha present
12700 salary be Increased to $3
100 but It wonld be merely a
bookkeeping change so far as the
district attorney waa concerned.
Judge Tells Details
of District Attorney's Office '
The jndge pointed out that the
district attorney has expenses of
9100 a year which would come
out of his salary and reduce It In
effect to $1800 a year, except
that he has been paid this amount
"at the sufferance of the connty
court." Tha judge'a letter, de
claring this to be an Indefensible
practice from several points of
rlew, follows:
'The district attorney'a sal
ary la $2700 a year and being a
state and not a county officer
there Is no law by which he can
legally secure any . f eea, per
quisite, or compensation of any
kind from Marlon county.' Un
der the law he must pay hit
stenographer, his office rent,
furnish his stationery, type
writer, and atamps out. of his
salary. These expenses actually
reduce his salary to $1800 a
year. For many years the coun
ty court has paid these expen
ses. As a result the district at
torney has received $900 a year
at the sufferance of the county
court.
"The district attorney is not
only the legal advisor of all
county officials, but If any
county official violates the law,
it becomes the duty of the dis
trict attorney to prosecute him.
It the members of the county
court pay out money not auth
orized by law, It becomes the
duty of the district attorney to
force them to make restitution
thereof. If they refuse or fail
to collect money due the coun
ty, they are likewise responsi
ble. They could be indicted, if
guilty, for malfeasance in of
fice. "This situation Is not only
violation of public policy, but
It has become Intolerable. I,
therefore, request that' you in
crease tbe district attorney'a
salary to $3(00 a year."
