holiday Wednesday to put in “the first real lickT on his annual
message to congress—an address awaited for a follow-up and
elaboratoln of the policy he outlined Itv his defense talk to the
nation.
It was believed that Mr. Roosevelt probably would Incorporate
In this message on the state of the union some material that time
limitations prevented his using in his Sunday radio broadcast.
Mr Roosevelt himself indicated e
Tuesday that the message would in-1
elude a request to congress for broad
authority to lend war supplies to Brit-
ain. with perhaps discretionary au- I
thority to negotiate for repayment |
both "in kind” and in raw material*
or other product*.
Message Dw Monday
The president's message to congress
—to be delivered next Monday—was
the next scheduled major administra-
tion pronouncement on the whole in-
volved question of defense. British aid
and international relations. Mean-
while. there was no slackening In
development* in any of these fields.
Further action for speedier arms
production was reported under consid-
eration. ' M. Roosevelt was said to be
planning to concentate in William S.
Knudsen all the actual power of the
newly created "supreme command" of
defense production.
In congress, Chairman George CD..
Oa.) of the senate foregin relations
committee added his voice to those
who have registered opposition to the
idea of American convoys for military
supplies to Great Britain.
N* Hope for Peace
George, an advocate of all possible
peaceful aid to Britain, said convoys
would involve this country In the war.
No official suggestions for a convoy
system have been made, however.
George declared he saw no hope
that a "negotiated” peace could be
realised at this time, as suggested re-
cently by Senators Wheeler (D.
Mont.), yandenberg (R., Mich.) and
Tydings (D., Md ).
Mr. Roosevlet, holding his last press
conference of 1840 Tuesday, said that
his leaae-lend program of supplying
Britain with war supplies might be
put into effect as soon as congress
enacts the necessary legislation.
Thomas Pinckney was the first am-
bassador from the United States to
Great Britain.
^Rothschild’s Famous Basemeftt
WASHINGTON. Jan 1 —Sen- j
a tor Bankhead (D.. Ala) predicted “
Wednesday the new congress would 4
extend indefinitely that part of the
j federal * farm program under which 4
co-operating growers have received a
payment of about a hall billion dollars
annually. ' 4
The Alabama senator, sponsor of
many new deal measures in recent
nothing vears. said he was preparing legisla- 4
> j tion to extend without time limit the JU
soil conservation and domestic a’.lqj^^
ment act now scheduled to expire'at 4
the end of 1941.
At the same time, he expressed con-
fidence that the new congress would
continue to vote 8500.000,000 for "con-
servation payment*” and another
$200,000,000 or more for “parity pay-
ments” to th* more than 6.000,000
