LEND-LEASE END POSES PROBLEM

Over Half of Obligation May Be Cancelled.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 '(U. P.). ~The United States may cancel well over half of the obligations incurred by allied nations under the lendlease program. That prediction is supported by statements of the late President Roosevelt and President Truman in their quarterly lend-lease reports to congress, It is backed also by statements of the senate and house foreign relations committees in renewing the lend-lease act. President Truman's order halting lend-lease immediately focused attention on one of the most difficult post-war jobs—a final lend-lease settlement. Procurement; of supplies for allies under lend-lease already has dropped; actual transfers will cease on the official V-J day. Pay or Borrow Now The major problem now is to work out interim agreements so that allied nations can continue to receive lend-lease materials now in stockpiles, in the transit “pipeline,” or on order, Those nations will have to pay cash or make arrangements for credit if they still wish such equipment and materials.

any allied nations that still wants| lend-lease supplies that are still in| the works. Russia reportedly has been seeking a $6,000,000,000 credit loan and Britain.one of a similar amount. Crowléy pointed out that the export-import bank, with lending capacity of $3,500,000,000, does not have enough money to finance such big loans but that it does have enough to handle financing during thé transitional period. Settlement Big Task "But thé final settlement of the lend-lease accounts is the really | tough, long-range problem. off- | cials estimate that it may be as| long as two years before the lend- | lease books can be completely shut. Congress, too, will have some- | thing to say before lend-lease becomes a closed chapter. Chairman | James M. Mead (D. N. Y.) said] his senate war |

senate to investigate costs of the! it

war,” he said, the manner in which lend-lease | has been handled and the manner in which future decisions are made | concerning lend-lease will be one | of the most important fields of | inquiry which the committee can pursue.”

VOLUNTEER AIDS ASKED TO STAY

Special Wartime Services Still Needed

Volunteer workers, who helped operate many wartime agencies, were asked to today to stay on the job a little longer. The appeal came from Mrs, Elias C. Atkins, chairman of the volunteer service committee of the council of social agencies. “Most wartime agencies which have used volunteer workers, will continue to function for some time,” {she pointed out, | “For instance, announcement has been made that there will be a victory war loan campaign in October Here volunteers wiil be needed for booths in theater lobbies and department stores.” Also, temporary unemployment and the needs of returning servicemen will increase the responsibilities of the peactime agencies, which have depended greatly on volunteer help in normal years, Mrs Atkins added. “Help Is Essential” “Responsibility of the citizen to his community is just as great in peacetime as in war,” she said, “and volunteer help now is essential to the welfare of Indianapolis and] Marion county.” ° { Mrs. Anna M. Bobinger, director of the volunteer service department {of the council, also urged volunteers (to continue in the activities for which they have been trained. | The department, according. 16 Bobinger, expects to reefuit Many women 're- | leased from industry, or returning | to Indianapolis after years of fol-| lowing their soldier-husbands over the country will expect to resume | their former places in the ranks of | volunteer workers, she added.
