“America Must Guard Her Owe Interests”
WASHINGTON, January 21. Amid cries of “America must guard her own interests,” a move was launched in the House of Representatives yesterday by the isolationist bloc to curtail the proposed 1,350,000,000d01. contribution to the U.N.R.R.A. Fund for aiding peoples of war-devastated lands. Representatives Sumner and Gearhart, both Republicans, challenged the constitutionality of the measure. Mr. Sumner contended that the U.N.R.R.A. would help to make Marshal Stalin" dictator of Europe. Mr. Hamilton Fish, saying that he admired Mr. Churchill and Marshal Stalin because they put their OAvn nations' interests first, intimated that several amendments would be submitted, including reduction to 675,000,000 dollars, restriction against the use of any funds for educational purposes, provision to assure relief for people of India, a guarantee that 90 per cent, of the American contribution would be used for supplies purchased in the United States, and a stipulation that U.N.R.R.A. be used for relief exclusively, with no funds for rehabilitation.
