LEND-LEASE IS ON THE INCREASE
Aid to Allies Grows as U. S. Enters Actual Combat, FDR Figures Show.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.) — The rising tide of American production was graphically reflected today by statistics showing that lend-lease shipments increased during a period when the United States was outfitting and transporting her greatest expeditionary force. President Roosevelt announced that, more than $915,000,000 in goods and services went to the allies in October. During the four months when the United States was engaged in “the imposing task of arming, equipping and transporting our strong expeditionary force now in North Africa” lend-lease transfers amounted to $2,173,000,000. “Two-thirds of the goods were military items,” the president said in a statement made public last night, “including large numbers of planes and tanks that helped ‘to turn the tide in Egypt and to hold the lines in Russia.”
Tops 5 Billion o
The total value of lend-lease goods transferred and services rendered for the first 18 months of the lend-lease program was $5,129,000,000. } The president cited the October figures to “show how wrong the axis
was in assuming that our aid to our|"
allies would sharply decline once we had been brought into the war.” Mr. Roosevelt said valleys and peaks in production and shipments must be expected and “cautioned against necessarfly asuming that the same record can be maintained every month.” “The steady increase in our production is likely to mean a growing increase in the aid supplied to our allies for the next year,” he added, however. : Keep Up Lend-Lease Pace
“We have never intéhded and do not intend to diminish our lendlease aid in the slightest. The record for the last four months shows that we are seeking to strike a careful balance between supplying our own army and supplying the cther armies fighting in the common cause,” : Is hb The record for the last four months was impressive largely because of September and October “when our preparations for the African campaign were at their height.” months, “more than $918,000,000 worth of military items were transferred to our allies.”
Mr. Roosevelt contrasted that
two-month total with the $169,000,000 worth of military items transferred at the outset of the war in the months of December, 1941, and January, 1942, He emphasized that “figures alone do not begin to reflect the help the allies have given to each other.” That referred to “lendlease in reverse” ‘which operates
wherever there are American forces.
