i ECONOMY BLOC

+ FACES BATTLE . OVER FARM AID

‘Big Navy’ Group Also Seeks

8 ® More Funds as Debt Limit

Becomes Issue.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (U. P). —Congressional economy forces,

seeking to prevent new taxes or an

~ increase in the $45,000,000,000 national debt limit, mobilized today to fight those trying to increase national defense and farm appropriations. * The economy drive shifted to the -~ Senate where action was awaited on the Agriculture and Navy Departments supply bills. The $722,000,- € 000 agriculture bill was cut nearly $67,000,000 in the House; the Navy bill was reduced more than $112,000,000. -

Hope to Dodge Extra Taxes

Senate Democratic and Republican leaders believed that continua- , ton of the economy drive would © make unnecessary - an increase in the debt limit or legislation to raise $460,000,000 in special taxes which were asked by President Roosevelt + in his budget for 1941. The House has already saved more than half of that $460,000,000 figure which Mr. Roosevelt said Would be needed in new taxes under “his budget if the debt limit were ‘1iot to be raised. House savings on appropriation bills now total $299,,139, but only one of the bills— \ deficiency defense appropriations— has gone to the White House for

7 signature.

Farm Bloc Plans Battle

Va.), eader of the House economy bloc, Joined Senate leaders today in pre‘dicting that new taxes or an in“ilcrease in the debt. limit could be avoided if Congress adheres to the economy program that has preivailed so far. o: Farm bloc and “big Navy” Senators, however, prepared to battle to save the Navy and farm bills from { the economy axe. o Meanwhile, Mr. Woodrum disclosed that a deficiency bill due to be reported to the House this week has beén cut below the budget estimates—the eighth consecutive bill

What reason had the warships for being there at all?” These questions were supplemented by a following communication to.the Norwegian Government which read in part: “It was notorious that the Alt-

“We had the best of reasons, confirmed by British subjects taken off the Graf Spee and previous iprisoned in the Altmark, for knowing that there were some 300 or 400 British subjects aboard who had for

“The Altmark was credibly believed to possess offensive armaments. The record of this ship must have been well known to the Norwegian Government and in the view of His Majesty’s Government it was incumbent on Norwegian authorities when she entered Bergen and requested passage through Norwegian territorial waters to subject her to the most careful search. “His Majesty's Government would be grateful for full particulars as to how this search was conducted and what facts were discovered.” It is the British contention that the Altmark was armed with two “pom pom” guns and four machine guns ‘and carried an armed guard including naval men from the Graf

pee. Further, as to the German claim that the Altmark was an unarmed merchantman, an authoritative informant said that the Altmark was not listed in Lloyd’s register of merchant ships but was registered, as a warship, in the June, 1939, list of coast and ship stations published by the International Union of Tele-

tion in busines with protective instead of “restrictive” regulation.

The Democrats

Here is what the Republicans set up ‘as the balance sheet of Administration failure as of last summer prior to “the war-in-duced upswing”: “1,.More than ten” million American unemployed. “2. A lower standard of living than a decade ago. “3. The creation of new enterprises virtually at a standstill, the modernization and expansion of existing enterprises deferred. “4 Labor involved in extensive and costly disputes, with its organized ranks torn by civil war and its annual income lower .despite higher hourly wage rates. “5, Farm prices neither stable nor satisfactory and the - basic problems of agriculture no nearer solution than before the Administration’s exercise ‘of sweeping control over farms and farmers. . “6. The doors-of economic opportunity barricaded to youth by the sluggish condition of American enterprise. “17. Government expenditures excluding postal receipts and debt retirement, of $9,210,000,000 in 1939 against $3,863,000 in 1933. 8. “The heaviest tax burden in hs nation’s history “9, A national debt doubled by the end of 1939.”

Agriculture

1. Parity based on relationship between the prices of what the farmer sells and the prices of what he buys. 2. Rejection of scarcity as a permanent policy. 3. Artificial pegging of prices cannot by itself bring prosperity. 4, Major attack on the farm program must be a broadly conceived drive to expand the farmer’s market—domestic and foreign. 5. A rational readjustment of transportation rates will widen the farmer’s market. 6. Millions of acres of sub-mar-ginal lands should be removed ‘from production. 7. Institution of a nation-wide program of soil conservation is outside the area of partisan debate. 8. Reclamation projects under

GERMANS DEMAND ACTION BY LEAGUE

(Continued from Page One)

Halvdan Koht was instructed to outline to Parliament decisions of the Foreign Affairs Committee on Britain’s invasion of Norwegian waters to run down the Altmark and on future policy to avoid serious international complications. The decisions were taken at a secret meeting in which Government leaders participated after calling in experts on international law to consid¢r the Altmark incident. Gernian protests against failure

of Norway to “protect” the Alt-

mark and British criticism against fallure of Norway to discover the prisoners aboard the ship created an extremely dangerous situation for Norway. The British demanded internment of the Altmark, which is ‘how aground at Joesing Fjord, and the rmans have demanded full TEpa. rations from Norway. A seventh ‘member of the Altmark's crew died in a. hospital at Kristianssand last night. Wounded men were in nospiial at Kristianssand and at Slekkefjord, Some Germans, who fled the Altmark when men of the British destroyer Cossack boarded it, were reported still to be at large. A German pastor left Oslo to as-

sist at the burial of men killed.

which our economy of free private enterprise can most effectively operate and be most surely preserved. In short, the purpose of Government intervention in business should be to make the American economy of! free entérprise work, not to replace’ it with something else. “Regulation is bad when it goes beyond its protective purposes and hampers the freedom of enterprise for the most efficient performance of its creative function of producing wealth, in the form of more and better goods at lower prices, with which alone the living standards of the nation can be lifted.”

Dewey Pleased After Northwest Swing

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 (U. P.)— Thomas E.

He made 44 rear platform appearances and in Portland,

Reserves Rushed Into Lines

Field Marshal Baron Carl Gustav Mannerheim, commander-in-chief, has strengthened the new Finnish

line in all key sectors and has formed a new reserve pool of men in the Lake Ladoga area, it was understood. The Finns are building tank barriers and dugouts all the way from the front to territory back of Viipuri. It was asserted that the Finnish line remained anchored on Koivisto Island to the west, despite Russian claims to having reached the coast north of the island. A headquarters communique asserted today that Russia had lost 170 planes since Feb, 1, making a total of 412 since the war started. The Government ordered that all men of the army classes of 1897 to 1918 inclusive who had been ex-

|empted from service by reason of

ill health or other reasons, must Dow report for medical examina-

President Kyosti Kallio issued an amnesty for all prisoners serving sentences of six months or less and conditional amnesty for those serving sentences of between six months and one year. Indications were that the Finnish air force was now causing the Rus‘sians some trouble by raids behind the lines. - New planes have arrived, it was understood, which are superior to those of the Russians.

| Yesterday's communique asserted

that 24 Russian planes had been shot down Saturday. Stockholm, estimated that Russian forces in e Karelian Isthmus totaled from. 300,000 to 400,000 men with 500 airplanes in support. It was estimated that 200,000 of the Russians had taken part in. the offensive so far.

Russians Claim Troops

‘Near Viipuri Suburbs

MOSCOW, Feb. 19 (U. P.).—Russian troops, pounding at the Mannerheim Line are approaching the suburbs of Viipuri, Finland's second city, and have isolated Koivisto Is-

- | land, anchor of the line on the Gulf

of Finland, an Army communique indicated today. Striking through to’ the coast on the Finnish right wing, Russian troops reached the station of Sommae, only 6% miles south of Viipuri on the coastal railroad, it was asserted. Inland, the Russians had previously taken the station of Sainio, on a spur of the main Vii-puri-Leningrad railroad only four miles from Viipuri, it was asserted. By its terms, the communique implied that the Finns had suffered a quick series of disastrous defeats. It was asserted that they were retreating steadily before the Russian steam roller advance. The communique asserted that the Russians, in taking Sommae Station; the important town of Johannes, 9% miles south of Viipuri -and Maksalahti Station, four miles south ‘of Johannes, had reached the coast north of the island group of which fortified Koivisto is the principal one—and is the Finns’ right wing anchor. It was indicated that Koivisto was isolated from the land side. Since the early days of the war the Russians had pounded it with airplane bombs, naval guns and long range land artillery. It is particularly valuable to the Finns because its big guns can fire either out to sea or inland to enfilade the Russian line. i Acturding ie munique
