Swift Action Follows Signing Of Lease And Lend Bill
"
UNCLE SAM MEANS BUSINESS," is how the NEW YORK TIMES sums up the " reactions in the United States and in Britain to the swift action following the passing of the Lease and Lend Bill, states a London message.
The paper adds, "The reason for the change in United States policy in the last 16 months is to be found in the acts and declarations of the dictators. It is they who have raised the challenge of world domination or defeat. We have accepted it."
