NO CONCESSIONS
Amendments in Bill
LONDON, January 31. The passage of the Aid to Britain Bill through the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives yesterday has been greeted with. satis* faction by the British Press. The minor amendments made in the Bill, points out the "Daily Telegraph," are designed to meet the chief objection to the Bill, that it gave the President too much power. The "Manchester Guardian" remarks that no concessions have been made to the isolationists or to what the Axis Powers might choose to think of the Bill. Opinion in Washington is that the amendments will assist the speedy passage of the Bill, and it is generally recognised they offer no impediments to the general policy of all possible material aid. The Senate Committee is now hearing evidence on the Bill, and it is expected next week the Bill will pass through the committee stage of the debate in the House of Representatives.
