Crowley Rejects Link Between Lend Lease and Shortages
In a Washington briefing, Leo T. Crowley, foreign economic administrator, said lend lease totals reached 35.382 billion dollars and that civilian shortages at home have been overstated. He cited 1944 lend lease at 15.4 billion, with most munitions kept for U. S. forces and China to receive a growing truck supply as Ledo Road opens. He noted Britain and Russia received large shares, and blamed shortages on war demands and rising civilian incomes. Roosevelt invited General de Gaulle to Algiers to discuss mutual interests, but de Gaulle declined.
