While Mr. Jones and Mr. Morgenthau, the two teading fiscal spokesmen, 'are paving the way for an approach to legislative authorisation for this program, the lawmakers themselves believe the absence of President Roosevelt, some of his Cabinet and the Speaker of the House from their official posts augurs that affairs abroad are not so desperate as propagandists attempt to portray. In fact, there is a pronounced demand for displaying proverbial Yankee "horse-trading" in the current British negotiations for military and fiscal aid rather than be swept sway by sympathy for the English cause. Credits and loans which require approval by Congress are not likely to receive the "go" signal until evidence of swapping is produced somewhat familar to the exchange of fifty destroyers for naval leases on vital British islands near our coasts. Sentiment is developing for outright titles to the island possessions in preference to long term leases. Another dispute which must be settled before our merchant ships are turned over to the British is their status after the war-- meaning whether they will be flying the American or foreign flags when the struggle for foreign trade is resumed in peaceful times. The repudiation of the enormous British First World War debt still rankles. Therefore, many advocates of assistance feel that it is high time that the English, a nation of traders, should be willing to barter for necessary supplies. Reports that certain sections of the British government are opposed to exchanging islands necessary for American defense for vital materials is creating equal stubbornness among the solons who feel the people will support their demands for deals along the precedent established in the detroyer matter. Public reactions against strikes in vital defense industries is now subjected to close appraisal by our legislators. Th Administration is desperately striving to ward off the day when it will be obliged to take a position in regard to restricting organized labor's right to strike. Experienced "trouble-shooters" have been drafted into the Federal service as conciliators and arbitrators for current disputes. The A. F. of L. is reported as greatly disturbed about the trend in Congressional circles, while its rival organisation, the C. L O.. is apparently making hay before the Federal government is forced to step into the labor picture. Intensive drives for membership in major industries sre now staged by the C. I. O., which the A. F. of L. con siders a dangerous policy in the face of prevailing pubile opinion. While the broad policies of the C. I. O. were defined at their recent convention, details as to this union's operations will not be known until the executives meet January 8. The A. F. of L. crowd are frankly worried over the possibility that their friends in Congress, who have supported liberal labor legislation for the benefit of trade unions, will turn against them in response to an antag onistic public opinion traceable to organizing efforts and incidental strikes in vital defense industries. Legisla tors, recognized as pro-union in their sympathies, find themselves in an em harassing situation in connection with government contracts for defense. Numerous complaints have been received from their constituents protesting about racketeering on many government jobs in which some union leaders obtain a kick-back from wagei of employees on these projects as a condition to securing work or furnishing materials. Representative Hoffman, of Michigan, introduced a bill a few days ago for an investigation into these alleged practices of grafting in government defense contracts. The Temporary National Economic Committee, which has been spending the taxpayers' money freely for several years, has obtained a new lease on life from the Congress until April 8. The passage of a resolution authorizing the continusnce did not provide additional appropriations but merely allowed the T. N. E. C. an extra three months in which to make their reports. It is reported that a number of these reports will serve as a background for anti-business legislation at the next session of Congress. The Committee recently completed s study of foreign investments in American industry which disclosed the fact that British investors had $366,547,000 invested. in manufacturing in this country making their nationals the largest foreign stockholders in our domestic corporation. The total British investment in 1937 amounted to $833,- 343,000. Canadian interests were the next largest holders of American securities totaling $462,693,000 with the Netherlands ranking a poor third. The German investors apparently had little opportunity to buy our securities because their total holdings for 1987 only amounted to $£4,985,000. Senator Nye recently introduced a resolution to create a special committee to investigate foreign ownership, but the proposed probe is likely to ?nd in a j pigeon-hole because another Senate ' committee already has this authority. The Senate committee investigating campaign expenditures also received an extension of time for their reports on the elections. Their findings will probably result in the display «rf soiled politics! linen. Smallest Fish One at the smallest fish knows is the goby, about one-half an inch long, whicfa Umm « Philippine waters.
