...treats it [the lease] as void or voidable." Senator Walsh's opinion at that time was tentative. Further investigation of the Salt Creek affair was in store and Senator Walsh further said: "I have not been able to give the subject the study that it ought to have in order to arrive at a conclusion such as would be reached by a good lawyer...
Socialist members of the Chamber's Finance Committee fairly screamed objections to the budgeted military, naval and air expenditure of six billion eight hundred million francs ($265,000,000) during 1929.
