Special to the "Telegraph"
ROME, Mar. 10 (UP)-Gayda, in an editorial in the "Giornale d'Italia," declares that the Senate's approval of the Lend and Lease Bill is equivalent to direct American intervention in the war and may force Japan to intervene in the conflict on the side of the Axis in line with her Tripartite Pact agreement.
He continues, "The Lend and Lease Bill can but prolong the conflict as the Axis counter-blockade of the Atlantic will not permit American aid to reach the besieged islands.
