Senator Glass Ready to Lend

Washington, Jan. 9.

Senator Carter Glass, Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, told the press here yesterday that he is willing tọ lend Finland $60,000,000 "even if I have to borrow it."

The Democratic Senator from Virginia made his statement after Senator Prentiss Brown, Democrat from Michigan, introduced a bill into the Senate authorizing the Treasury to loan Finland $60,000,000 for the purchase of any material she needs.

Senator Glass said, "I am not neutral in thought or word. We haven't got $60,000,000. We have to borrow it, but I am in' favour of borrowing it and letting Finland have it"—United Press,
