Warships to Go When Bill Is Signed
President Roosevelt plans to turn over to Britain $1.0 billion in ships and materiel as soon as the lease lend bill is signed. He will seek $5 billion in cash and $5 billion in authority for aid, and may seek a wartime mobilization decree increasing production. A special council will oversee the program with key defense leaders, and the president will conduct most trading with Britain through a purchasing commission. The British may be required to take surplus agricultural products and large quantities of war essentials in exchange. The plan includes transferring destroyers, cruisers, and ships, plus repair work in American yards. Congress aims to expedite final approval with swift House action.
