Willkie Aims to Keep Politics Out of Defense Efforts
Willkie, the 1940 Republican nominee, urged limiting political input on the American defense program and expressed hope Britain would weather the war. He called his White House talks with the president and Hull pleasant and said they granted every courtesy for his upcoming trip. Administration leaders expect his visit to bolster lend-lease support while he proposed three modifications including a time limit on powers, purse strings retention by Congress, and a section by section study to validate authority. In Congress, aides sought to accelerate aid to Britain despite adjournment for inauguration. White House aides hoped foreign affairs hearings wrap up soon with Kennedy set to testify and Lindbergh among other witnesses later in the week.
