PILOT LEASE FULL SUPPORT TO OR LEND BILL: CALL TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA
MR. WENDELL WILLKIE, UNSUCCESSFUL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, HAS NOW COME OUT AS A HUNDRED - PER CENT. SUP- PORTER OF THE LEASE OR LEND BILL.
In a broadcast on Thursday, he said, "I, who opposed Mr. Franklin Roosevelt, now call upon all Americans to give him such power as he now asks in a most severe climax. "WE SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM OF LIFE BY WITH- DRAWING OURSELVES," It is only in the expansion of the world's markets and by. crushing the dictatorships that America can go on in development."
The Secretary for War, MR. HENRY L. STIMSON, giving evidence before the For- eign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, said that the essence of the President's plan was "that the United States Government should be the sole purchaser and distributor of war materials.

Turning to the news from Africa, Mr. Steed referred to the speech made by General Smut, the South African Premier, in which he said that the South African forces were assisting General Wavell's Army of the Nile by neutralizing the strength of the Italians in East Africa.
The Bouth African forces are thus helping to restore Emperor Hallle Selassie to his native land, He has been instructing his army and his chieftains near Khartoum
and the South African and British armies have destroyed so much of Italy's munitions and smashed so many of her aerodromes that the position of this part of Bignor Mussolints new Roman empire is far from enviable."
