NEWS The question of THIS WEEK And, further, does anyone hold the conviction for a minute that there would not be a veritable deluge of propaganda in this country In behalf of loans to Norway or Sweden or even England and France, once the ice Is broken by help to Finland. The second point, therefore, is that if a precedent is established by extension of aid to Finland, it is surely possible that loans to the others would follow. I said it was possible; I believe it is probable. What then becomes of the ironclad Johnson act? That law, pushed through by Sen. Hiram Johnson, the California Republican, makes it impossible for any government to borrow money within the United States if M that nation has not i . J paid its war debts to the United States. Finland, of course, is the only one of Sen. Johnson (he World war borrowers that has even attempted to repay Its borrowings and so a loan to Finland does no violence to the Johnson act. Yet, I have a feeling that if the ice is broken, and passionate appeals are made for help for the others on the side of freedom if those things come about, I am very doubtful that supporters of the Johnson act will be able to hold the line against the onrushing waters of propaganda which our own government would quickly employ. President Roosevelt, I believe, was h bit tricky in the way he presented the proposal for a Finnish loan to congress. At first, we writers were informed from mysterious sources that there was a drive under way at the Capitol that was to lead to a loan for Finland. There were quick denials of that from congressional quarters.
