SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR No. 3 CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, DEC. 13, 1940 PRICE, ?1J0 A YEAR mSifRTON Despite attempts of New Deal lead* era in the House to delay Action’on the" WalteivLogan* Dili,, the Senate amendments- were accepted by an ov­ erwhelming vote in the House, early last week, and the measure made . ready to be sent to the President. That the President will veto the bill seems certain and it seems just as certain that the House will vote to override the veto. However, it is doubtful that sufficient votes could be obtained in the Senate to enact the measure into law over the President’s disapproval. There .is some talk here that an a t­ tempt .may be made to delay delivery of the bill to the White House long enough to permit the veto and return of the measure to Congress too late for legislative action before Congress adjourns for the Holidays. The. Wal- ter-Logan Bill, designed to give the right- of court review of rules, Regu­ lations and orders; issuejj by govern­ mental agencies and bureaus has been actively supported by business and legal organizations and just as active­ ly opposed by the Roosevelt Adminis­ tration;'. COURT NEWS ........ ... 8EEST IUNSFER Trustees, of Cedarville Twp. have tiled application in common pleas court seeking authority to transfer $050 from the road and bridge fund of the township to the general fund. A, E. Richards clerk .of the board, pointed out the transfer would npt impair the road and bridge fund which has $850 to its credit, saying this fund would* not need more than $200 for continued operation, while the general fund is law; Prosecutor Marcus Shoup is attorney for the board, The United States took another long step toward fuller participation in world politics and international af­ fairs-last week when it was announced that arrangements, were being made lo r a fifty million dollar cash, loan to the Nationalist Government of China, "and for the extension of credit -for . Purchases in_.3torn.erira up to fifty' mil­ lion dollars more, That the loan and credit’ arangement will do "much to stiffen ■ the- Chinese. defense against Japan is certain. That,* the new ar­ rangement is direct notice*to Japan that the United States, -looks with distinet disfavor on the invasion of China is also clear. Ju st what the final reaction will be remains to be seen. Prior .to this latests financial arrangement, the United States had made loans of approximately seventy million dollars to the Chinese Nation­ alist Government. SEEK FORECLOSURE , Foreclosure _on property in* Xenia city is asked by the Peoples Building and Savings Co. in a suit 'against Lendsll Charles Ridley, M. . Martha 'Ridley, Samuel Engilman, and John T. Harbine, Jr. The plaintiff asks judgment of $5,501.37 on a note. At-, torney for the plaintiff is J. Carl Mar­ shall*,-Xenia. # ' The tremendous losses of shipping suffered .by Great Britain during the la s t three weeks as a result of German submarine activities have brought much commeilt in official Washington circles as to the advisability of selling a large number of American freight and cargo vessels to the British gov­ ernment. Since- the beginning of’the ' European war a number of such ships have been sold, to England, while oth­ ers are being constructed in American ship yards on English orders. Already opposition to the sale of additional American ships is being hoard. Ofti- * cials of the Maritime Union are pro­ testing ' suclj sale, claiming that »American seamen will lose' employ­ ment and that American defense will suffer ft the ship transfers are made. On the other side of the issue are those who ard" requesting that the Neutrality/Law. be _ame_nde_d so . that American ships, manned by American crews and convoyed by American fighting vessels, can carry freight and war supplies directly to England, Still another group is proposing that more destroyers and other American fight­ ing Bhips be sold to England to aid in meeting tihe^submarine menace. That some definite program of addi­ tional aid to Great Britain will soon Be proposed by the Administration, efther with or without congressional action, seems certain. REQUEST.PARTITION Viola Little and others seeki1parti­ tion of property in Jefferson Twp.. jn_.their .suit against^Russell-Goodbar and Ruth Goodbar, both minors, re­ siding near New Jasper. Smith, Mc- Callistor* and ' Gibney are plaintiff's attorneys. • The announcement a few days-ago by high governmental officials that the pi-eet n t National Defense.Program would call for expenditures of a t least thirty-five billion dollars during the next five years, and perhaps a great deal more, will bring home to many American citizens a realization-of the immensity of the preparedness pro­ gram and its tremendous cost. The financial problom is not the only .one involved, however. Already there is much complaint that the defense pro­ gram is bogging down. Government officials are placing the blame on .the manufacturers, while the manufac­ turers claim it is impossible to pro­ duce defense needs quickly and effi­ ciently because of governmental red time, irtdfcision and interference, Tnosc who are studying the defense program believe that it will not be long until government orders must be given the right of way over private Contracts and purchases if hoped-for production of war material is to be achieved. Such priority for .govern ment orders, will of course, interfere greatly with private business and1in­ dustry bringing, about scarcity and high prices in certain lines of mate­ r ia ls and commodities, ahd neces­ sitating numerous important adjust­ ments afid changes to meet atich con­ ditions.
