Big Black Book Holds the Record of Lend Lease
Washington reports the lend-lease story is kept in a very exclusive big black book. One copy goes to President Roosevelt, another to Harry Hopkins, with microfilm tables to fit the pages. The book records Britain's repayment in kind, while officials guard details as secret, noting the system's vast scale and evolving procedures. Burns and Young head a small 35-person staff handling requisitions, with Young being son of Owen D. Young of GE.
