Then he went on to remark that it doesn’t help matters at all to open our treasury to the British and then close it to the Russians and others. PASS SENATE FIRST One reason for the secret dinner was to discuss the best strategy for winning congressional approval Vinson and Byrnes both worried about gHouse reaction, feeling that lengthy and acrimonious public de- bate over the loan would be bad fo: our relations with the British. Although they expect event House: approval, they felt it would go through with less difficulty and embarrassment if the Senate were to vote first Usual procedure on all involving appropriations, is for' the House to consider legislation first But the Senators, still irked be- cause they had not been consulted during the negotiations, were in no matters however, the mood to make the winning of con- gressional sanction for the loan any easier than they had to. Instead of agreeing that the loan should be referred to them first, they in- sisted that ordinary procedure be followed, with legislation first going to the House (Note—Of all the solons present, the only man who seemed truly anxious to help the State and Treasury Departments was New Hampshire'’s * Republican = Senator Charles Tobey.

Chairman Jim Mead of New York and Committee Counsel George Meader had prepared a de- tailed report showing how the Army is hoarding millions of blan- kets, sheets, underdrawers, and other surplus goods. Mead began to read from this document, but before he could get into it, the President took over “Yes, I know about that, Jim,” ganization t said Truman. “I've been doing a lot of thinking about this whole question of surplus disposal, and {Tm going to work out a | scheme to push the stuff out.

Returning to the President’s desk, he said: “We made this up for you, Harry, and I guess we might as well leave it. You seem to know the story but anyhow the details are here.” As the committee left the White House, one Rpublican Senator re- marked, “Harry never used to dominate our meetings as much as he did today. I've never known him to carry the ball all alone like that. That's the way FDR used to act when we'd call on him.
