On the other side of the capitol the House foreign affairs committee finished executive hearings on a MU to give the President discretionary authority to restrict trade with belligerents. The conflict between proponents of mandatory and discretionary neutrality policies Is expected to be settled only after a Mtter fight.

Pittman, an Administration leader In the Senate, predicted his committee will report favorably Saturday a Mil compromising with demands of the mandatory bloc.

Leahy said be was not qualified to state what the American Navy Departments reaction to this move would be, but he believed it was a fair presumption that if any other power raised its sea strength beyond the old treaty limits, the United States would follow.

Britons Face Sacrifice' To Build Armament LONDON, Feb. 17. (UP British taxpayers tonight faced-j the fact that they must make the greatest sacrifices since the World War to offset Germanys vast rearmament program.

At the end of a day in which the full extent of the governments armaments plan was revealed the taxpayers faced this outlook: They are certain to be called upon to contribute a minimum of 17,500,000,000 during the next five years. rThls Is a minimum amount for the governments rearmament program the final total may be considerably larger. Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, outlined the' governments attitude in '-the 'House of Commons late today. While the finance minister did not elaborate bis remarks, It appeared certain that the cabinets policy is to create a military establishment which will be vastly stronger than any combination of powers that might 'be effected against It Thus, Britain will have a navy, air force and an army, capable of crushing Adolf Hitlers Nazis in a series of fast blows if the Germans should create a situation which Britain believed would lead to a general European war. HUGE LOAN SOUGHT Chamberlains remarks -were made In presenting a resolution in the House of Commons calling for an immediate internal defense.

loan of approximately as part of the five-year plan. "Our program la not directed against any power or group of powers, he said, diplomatically, la in line with the govem-, ments duty to submit a program considered necessary for safety and the fulfillment of our obligations. Chamberlain lamented" this burden which will be thrust on the taxpayers, saying: "No one, least of all the rhan-cellor of the exchequer, ran see this growing accumulation of burdens without feeling disgust and shame for a civilization which prefers to break Its own back Instead of to settle "differences on a basis of give and take. CALLED WAR MEASURE When Clement R. Attlee, Labor party Jeader, that the governments program la a war measure, Chamberlain retorted: "That ia the very opposite of thfc truth.

This measure ia fof the preservation of peace. For the time being, at least, we an do nothing but aet our teeth and go forward with measures that we cannot afford to lay aside." Stripped of diplomatic verbiage todays Sate meant: Britain finally has decided that all efforts to create Inter- 'national 'machinery for the jjrrs-rrvatlon of peace, In the decades following the World War, have failed; and that Britain again must revert to her old policy of Dominating Europe by superiority..
