If the congress grants to the
President the pqw’er that he asks
for in the present Lend Lease b\ll
now before congress, they might as
well adjourn apd go home, for they
will have delegated all their powers
to the executive, and in fact made
him a dictator. Whether they
will or not remains to be seen.
Tho last meeting in the House in
the Seventy-sixth Congress, also
j the last meeting in the Ways and
j Means Committee Room in the
New House Office building before
resumption pf pse of the House
| Chamber, brought forth praise and
criticism of the president’s radio
j speech on aid to England “short of
war.” One leading democrat in^

dential declaration of war.” Oth

it wilt mean national bankruptcy

eral feeling among members is that
90 percent of the American people
want to stay out of war and yet
give England all possible assist-1
ance short of war. As the new con
gress opened for business, the im- J
pression is that a vote to declare i
war at this time would be defeated
in both the House and the Senate.
Many new faces appear in the
new Congress. Many older mem-:
bers have filed for better office j
quarters, and there is general moV-!
ing day activity in both House Of-.
fice buildings. New members take j
offices vacated by old members. The j
Third District office remains where J
it has been for the past four years,
which is on the ground floor of the
New House Office Building. The
office number is 1017.
Sub-committees of the House i
Appropriations Committee have
been meeting almost every day
for the past few weeks. Before
these committees appear depart
ment heads and bureau chiefs bo
justify appropriations estimated
to be essential to operate their ac
tivities for the fiscal year. Most
estimates are increased as com
pared to the preceding year. It
will cost the tax payer a lot more
money to run the business of the j
government during the next fiscal
year than it did last year notwith
standing a general administration
request to hold down regular ap
propriations.
With the exception of a few
farewell speeches and eulogies of
leaders, there was little ceremony
attending the ending of the record
breaking Seventy-sixth congress.
A few speeches forecasting that the
question of war would be much de
bated in the new congress contrib
uted the closing scenes. The thir
ty-six billion dollar congress broke
all records for on the job]
in spite of many Administration de-1
mands to adjourn. The congress]
automatically adjourned by con
stitutional limitation -and members
went right into the Seventy-second j
Gengre s after organizing Mid
being sworn in
The new session finds two groups
facing each other. They are now
being called “interventionists and
non-interventionists.” The stand
of the former is that the security
of the United States from invasion
and the preservation of democracy
require annihilation of the Nazi
regime in Germany; the British
fleet is America’s first line of de-1
fense in the Atlantic and that the
United States should furnish Great
Britian with such military re
sources as are essential to the de
feat of the axis powers. The non-1
interventionists take the stand that
the United States should be suf-1
ficiently armed to repel any attack.]
The two oceans are our first line of
defense. Under that principle of
American foreign policy, pertinent
to the Monroe Doctrine, we are for
bidden to intervene in foreign wars
the same as we bar foreign inter
vention in this hemisphere. They
believe that subjugation of the to
talitarian powers would require the
United States to send our Navy and
large land forces to Europe. On
these two questions, many speeches
will be made early in the new ses
sion.
More than 150,000 people have
government jobs in Washington.
The Washington Board of Trade
predicts this will be a town of a
million people soon. Rooms are
hard to get and house owners can
rent most any sort of available
rooms. Trains daily bring in ad
ditions to the army of workers.
Many young men and women ar
rive daily from Nebraska and from
other states in the Union, having
secured Civil Service jobs. Many
parents of these young people
come with them and live with them,
hoping they, too, will get jobs here.
In some cases, father, mother,
daughter and son hold government
jobs in Washington.
