from our direct participation In the

Representative) Kocht of Pennsylvania.
Republican, asked Kltchln 'If the mousy
to be loaned to the Allies was to cany out
the .President's purpose of bringing tier
many to terms and ending tho war.
"The question may seem sensatU nal,"
said Koeht, "but I want to know this: ln
you believe that this vast sum of money
we are able to lend Is actually to be con
vened Into Implements of war to bring
Gei many to terms, or are we just antici
pating the close of the war and preparing
tu rehabilitate the Allies financially In
time of peace?"
"I think the m ney undoubtedly will be
used to aid In bringing Germany to let ins,"
responded Mr. Kltchln. "f do not regard
It as a loan anticipating peace and to re
habilitate the Allies."
Representative Sabatli, of Illinois, Demo
crat, Insisted that a provision should be
made that the money loaned to the Allies
should bo spent In the f niteil Stnfes when
ever possible.
LIMIT TO POWKR,
Representative Kltchln opposed this.
"Is there any reason," queried Repre
sentative l,enroot, of Wisconsin, one of the
Republican leaders, "why the authority
given to the Secretary of the Treasnry
should not be restricted to the period of
Ibe war with Germany? As It Is the bill
would be permanent law Ion after peace'
Is made."
The Idea met with the approval of the
Democrats as well ns Republicans, .but Mr.
Kltchln Insisted that the necessities of the
situation would be best met by Imposing
unlimited confidence and discretion In the
Administration.
Opposition to unlimited Kxecutlve control
of the bond Issue grew ait the debate pro
gressed. Representative Hill, of Connecti
cut thought that a financial committee
should be appointed to act with the Presi
dent and Secretary of the Treasury In ad
ministering the Issue.
BALK AT CONSCRIPTION'
There Is no material let-down In the op
position to the Administration's selective
draft plan, however. There Is a tendency
to favor a compromise proposal for testing
out the volunteer system to an even further
extent than the bill provides, and If this
falls then resort to tbe selective draft,
