TIGHTENING UP THE (CIVILIAN) BELT.
Two interesting state- ments have followed the action of President Roose- velt in accepting respon- sibility for the guardian- ship of Iceland. Mr. Churchill, in the House of Commons, has pointed to' the logical outcome of that step: close Anglo- American cooperation in the defence of the island and
the mutual advan. tages to be derived from Anglo-American naval co- operation in keeping the dangerous waters of the North Atlantic open to supplies from the United States to her forces in Iceland and from the United States to Britain.i Mr. Willkie, in Washing- ton, following an inter- view with President Roosevelt, indicated that his influence had been brought to bear to break down resistances to the full implications of the lend-lease policy. Effec- tive aid or none at all, is Mr. Willkie's doctrine, and it involves measures to ensure the mainten- ance of free sea-lanes. The positions of Mr. Will- kie and President Roose- velt are, of course, from all practical considera- tions, vitally different. Mr. Willkie is a free-lance.
