HOW THE
LEASE BILL LEND AND LEASE
WILL WORK
From the United Press
Here is an analysis of salient features of the British Aid Bill which recently be- came a law:
1. The President of the United States may lend, lease or give away defence articles. -ranging from warships and planes to cartridges and wheat to any country whose defence he deems vital to the defence of the United States.
2. The terms for repayment of such aid will be set by the Present in each case. He may arrange for the goods to be paid back; or agree to take other types of goods in ex- change; or he may give the material- away for "indirect benefit" to the United States.
3. The immediate direct dollar cost of defence articles transferred abroad will be borne by American taxpayers. The President will seek cash und contractual authority from Congress to purchase the .articles.
4. From army and navy equipment now on hand or on order, the President may send up to $1,800,000,000 worth abroad. He must scck speci- fic authority from Congress to transfer
that more than amount from army and navy stocks appropriated for or authorised in the future.
CONVOYS
5. The President receives no specific authority under the bill to use American ships to convoy defence supplies to Britain. On the other hand, the bill does not curtail any powers which he may now have to order such convoys.
6. The President must re- port to Congress every three months on the transactions which he enters into under the bill. But he may withhold until a later time the dis- closure of transactions which
he does not consider in the public interest to reveal at the moment.
7. The President's powers under the bill extend through June 30, 1943, unless ended earlier by a simple majority vote of Congress. Contracts which he entera into under the bill must be completed by July 1, 1946.
na-
8. Under the bill, the Presi- dent or his defence advisers may also give certain accret military information to tions whose defence is deemed vital to the United States. Such information might in- clude the plans or designs of the zealously-guarded bomb sight, for instance..
