Plan to Speed Up U S Aid to Britain in War Crisis
The War Department announced pilots are being released for voluntary service with the Chinese air force and American civilian ground crews will be sent to Britain as aircraft firms release mechanics. Britain opened a New York recruiting office for American civilian ground crews and radio technicians to handle American planes. Official comments say direct aid to Soviet Russia remains limited, with a treasury hold on some Soviet funds and a pending list of needs. The State Department may consider nonmilitary imports like leather, cotton, shoes, and non military machine tools, while Baltic ships in American waters pose a dispute over their use. Industry and logistics shifts continue amid mounting wartime pressures.
