WASHINGTON, Feb. 3— (UP)—
Senator Hiram W. Johnson. R .
Calif., led a move In the Senate
foreign relations committee today
to cut g90.000.000 from a proposed
$100,000,000 increase In the Export-
Import Bank’s revolving fund—a
fund that would be used to extend
a non-military loan to Finland.
Johnson, ranking majority mem-
ber of the committee, is ready to
carry the fight for a reduction In
the bill to the Senate floor If the
move falls In committee. Senator
Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio, would
assist Johnson In event of a floor
fight.
Meanwhile, committee action was
delayed at least until next week
when the committee again meets.

continued between Senate Isola-
tionists and those who believe in
