United States Slashes 1945 Lend Lease To Britain
The United States will halt lend lease shipments of iron and steel to Britain starting January 1, cutting the 1945 program by about 50 percent to 5.6 billion dollars. The plan aims to aid reconversion of British industry to civilian production and relies on Britain's reduced steel demand to shift toward equitable postwar conversion with the United States. Lord Keynes and Harry White led the talks outlining the new framework and its goals.
