BRITISH REJOICE OVER NEW PLAN

Press and Public Welcome F. D. R. Move to Lend or Lease War Materials.

LONDON, Dec. 18 (U. P.).—Authoritative British quarters, the public and the press today welcomed enthusiastically President ‘Roosevelt’s proposals to lend or lease. war materials to Great Britain. The plan was described authoritatively as a “downright, forthright approach. “The resident has cleared the ground by emphasizing that the fundamental problem ‘is not dolars but munitions and that it is in the interest of the United States to find |- ways of putting in Britain’s hands the means necessary to shorten the war,” authoritative quarters said. “Mr. Roosevelt’s plan has four clear merits,” said the Evening News. “It solves the problem of our dwindling dollars. . It avoids hitterness about monetary debts. If ends the spectacle of a man who, struggling in the water, is asked to pay for: a life belt before it is thrown to him from the shore.’ It will be a help at time of pressing need.”

“A feeling of love swept over me,” she ‘quoted Ballard as saying. “It went out like a ray of light to the panther. The vicious glare in the thors eyes softened, and he came up to me. I stroked his head and he lay down and rolled over like a kitten.”
