Production facilities in United States.... 170,000,000 Miscalleonus expenses. 4,000,000 The president stressed, however, that the volume of lend-lease aid to the British Commonwealth of nations and 33 other countries whose defense has been declared vital to this country has increased steadily with each of the 12 months it has been in operation. The first three ‘months of the lend-lease © program, total aid amounted to only $118,000,000, Each month, however, produced a sizable increase and for the month of February, 1943 total aid amounted to over $569,000,000.
Maintain Inventories
Mr. Roosevelt noted that the total value of exports of lend-lease items to Feb. 28, 1943, was only about $1,100,000,000—1less than the value of articles transferred, because of the necessity of maintaining inventories of finished articles at points of expost and because the transfers of ships are not included in the export
He also pointed out that lendlease aid was only a part, although increasingly important, of “our total export assistant to those opposed to the axis.” While lend-lease exports amounted to only slightly over $1,000,000,000 the president included in his report, which is issued querterly, chart showing that total exports since March 1, 1941, “to those opposed to the axis” amounted to more than $5,000,000,000, The lend-lease material exported during the first year of the program consisted of 29 per cent military items, 34 per cent in foodstuffs and 37 per cent in industrial materials,
Explain Vast Spread
The reason for the vast spread between the volume of aid supplied and the amount authorized is due largely to the “time and effort required to revolutionize our industrial system, and to attain the volume of production demanded of an effective arsenal of democracy,” Mr. Roosevelt said. “Lend-lease tanks cannot be purchased in the market place,” he said. “The bulk of lend-lease aid must wait upon the tooling of factories, the pressing needs of our own armed forces, and ‘he construction of new ships to carry the remaining weapons to qur allies.” The $48,000,000,000 lend-lease total referred to by the president included $18,410,000,000 - appropriated directly to the president and allocated, obligated and expended for specific articles and services earmarked for lend-lease. The figure also included up to $20,596,650,000 of all the material purchased by the war and navy departments and the maritime commission for all war needs, which may, after procurement, be transferred to lend-lease nations if so determined by Mr. Roosevelt and the heads of the armed forces.

The British effort to arrive at a political settlement with India was designed to turn that vast subcontinent into a base “from which the strongest counter-blows must be struck at the advance of tyranny and aggression.”
Warns of Raids on Ceylon
The London naval spokesman said flatly that “the strength of the main Japanese fleet has not been seriously impaired.” He warned of possible Japanese attacks on Ceylon, Port Darwin, Australia, or east to the Fiji islands. Two reports underscored the naval spokesman’s statement. One was a Japanese claim that the U, 8. cruise er Marblehead, 7050 tons, has been sunk by a Japanese cruiser in the Indian ocean. The other was a Stockholm. report from Berlin that Japan has

MOSCOW, March 11.—The wd) armies, though continuing their forward pressure against clingingly obstinate German resistance, are simultaneouly making farreaching preparations to meet Hitler’s threatened spring push. The Russians doubt that Hitler can ‘concentrate sufficient strength along the entire front for a general offensive. Buf there is a possibility that he will amass his reduced reserves for an” all-out thriist against isolated sectors. Already the backbone of the Russian winter is broken although the Russian spring is still some weeks away. The intense sub-Arctic cold which was such a valuable ally of the army during December, January a February, has given way to more moderate bit still icy weather conditions. Here in Moscow ‘dripping icicles and decaying snowdrifts herald spring’s approach. However, the countryside remains covered with snow to a considerable depth—a serious obstacle to mass tank operations, : More snow may yet fall and another cold snap is yet possible.

The Japanese te
Atrocities Arouse Europe
It might, however, indicate that the Japanese do not propose a launch an immediate attack on Australia beyond possible efforts to occupy Darwin and other strategic north coast regions. In Europe the British public was aroused by reports of Japanese atrocities to a fighting pitch equaled only by that stemming from the mass German air raids on Britain, The royal air force attacked German war industries for the third night running and there was anticipation in many British circles that other offensive blows against Germany would follow soon. Ankara reported that Adolf Hitler is believed to be preparing for a new “ides of March” offensive in which Gen. Erwin Rommel may play a leading role. It was believed by some sources
in Turkey that Germany will launch
a three-way drive in the southeast. The major offensive would be toward the Russian Caucasus. A second attack would be by Rommel east into Egypt toward the Suez canal. The third prong might be a direct attack across Turkey or a by-passing attack directed at Cy-
ject of wage controls has become increasingly warm, especially since the C. I. O. officially advised its unions to demand wage increases for all members in negotiating new contracts. Demands by the steel workers or-
steel” companies for dollar-a-day increases, the union shop and checkoff of dues, are now being heard by the war labor board. Some 400 county officials meeting here yesterday independently adopted a resolution proposing ceilings on all wages, profits, rents, farm prices and commodity prices. Their objective was to avoid inflation.
Henderson Opposes Raises
Price Administrator Leon Hendersén, who urged congress not to give him the job of trying to control wages, has opposed general wage boosts, but has not favored wage “freezing. ” He has argued that increases for workers already in the better-paid brackets would have an inflationary effect on prices, and that the government’s effort now should be to conflne wage raises to those who are “sub-standard” or. whose pay has not kept pace with the cost of living.
