Washington, D. C, Jan. 23. Ber
fore the lease-lend bill is enacted
it will contain several provisions
limiting the powers of the president
It is on this point that the bitter
fight in congress is now in progress.
Mr. Roosevelt wants the bill as it
was introduced (it was written in
the treasury department), but a
dozen senators who favor helping
Britain but not giving them Uncle
Sam's shirt, are objecting. It is pos- j
able that the administration has
sufficient votes to push the bill'
through both houses, but leaders
prefer accepting a few mild modi
fications to mollify the objectors.
Cabinet officers have rushed to the
assistance of the president; have
told congressional committees that
this aid might be provided at once
or in two or three months Britain
will cave in and the United States
will be attacked, via South America.
As a matter of fact it will be
months before the United States will
be on a production basis. Contracts
have been let on a cost-plus fixed
fee basis, but even before these con
tracts con be executed the plants
must first be erected. There are
125 plants now being financed by
the federal government and more
will be added. These plants will
produce everything that Britain and
the United States will require.
Sometime in the summer most of
these plants will be starting up, but
it will be next winter before they
are organized for production. In
short, it will be approximately a year
before material will be rolling out
of the plants.
Objectors to the lend-lease mea
sure are insisting that the needs of
this country be first taken care of
before Uncle Sam becomes too big
hearted. They do not want the pres
ident to decide what shall be sent;
they prefer the judgment of the ar
my and navy officers, but overlook
that the president is commander,
in-chief and if he orders materials
sent abroad the army and navy of
ficers will obey the command.
In the Pacific northwest there is
considerable opposition to the lend
lease bill by tiie Maritime Federa
tion of the Pacific and the Seattle
Industrial Union. In the first place
they foresee that taxes will be rais
ed to pay for help to the English,
Chinese and Greeks if war materials
are given away. They also object
to American freighters, now being
ordered, being transferred to foreign
registry, and they are quite positive
that they do not desire American
warships serving as convoys. Their
protests have already been spread
on the pages of the Congressional
Record. Practically all of the mem
bers of the two organizations voted
for Mr. Roosevelt two months ago
for a third term, but they do not
want war.

I HEREBY CERTIFY, that the forego
ing is a true and correct statement, ac
cording to the records of my office.
THOMAS J. WELLS,
, County Assessor.
Dated this 7th day of January, 1941.
There is a difference of opinion
between the secretary of war and
the secretary of the navy. The for
mer advised the house committee
on foreign affairs that, if necessary,
more navy boats (particularly de
stroyers) should be given to the Bri
tish. The secretary of the navy ob
jects to that idea, insists that all
the American warships now in com
mission or under construction are
needed to protect the interests of
the United States. Under the lease
lend measure, however, the presi
dent could give away the navy with
out consulting the secretary of the
navy just hand it over where he
thinks it would be the most bene
ficial. The bill would also permit
him to purchase implements of war
abroad, which has been interpreted
as authorizing the president to av
quire the British navy if England
is defeated. While not denying the
bill allows this, the president says
such an interpretation is foolish and
he would not do such a thing.
The attempt to pack the supreme
court in 1937 aroused a battle in the
senate that will be child's play com
pared with the debate on the lease
lend bill. Most of the same senators
who opposed the court bill are again
arrayed against the president. There
is greater public interest now be
cause people can more readily un
derstand what is at stake; this bill
hits their pocketbooks and touches
directly on the lives of 16,000,000
who are within the draft age. Lon
don will continue being bombed
and set fire to as the debate drags
on in the senate, that much is cer
tain.
WPA workers will be shipped to
Clatsop county to build access roads
connecting Fort Stevens with Wolf
creek highway, with Camp Clatsop,
and a 25 mile pipeline for Fort Ste
vens. On the Washington side of the
river are two gone-to-seed forts
which will be rehabilitated and ac
cess roads constructed for them in
Washington. While WPA funds will
be sharply curtailed next fiscal
year, defense works of WPA in
Washington and Oregon will keep
the workers busy and there is not
likely to be much reduction in the
force from present indications.
