Crisis looming in 60 to 90 days prompts wartime plan
Secretaries Stimson and Knox signaled a coming international crisis within 60 to 90 days while war department experts fix March 15 as a likely break point. Reports from North Africa indicate Marshal Weygand leans pro British and could mount a campaign against Italians if supplied by the United States. A strategy imagines French troops moving to Greece to bolster Jugoslavs as Turks redeploy divisions. Roy Howard and Bruce Barton battled Willkie over lend-lease stance, with Willkie defending aiding Britain as vital to U S security.
