Says British Sell
Lease-Lend Goods

Charges that Great Britain is
using some of the materials sup
piled under the lease-lend pro-
gram to maintain it's trade in
Latin America were made by
Congressman James F. O'Connor
(Dem., Mont.) He called for a
congressional investigation.
"It is unthinkable," O'Connor
said, "that English exporters
should commit such reprehensi-
BILE acts at the expense of Amer
lean taxpayers. To resell goods
designed for British defense is
STOPPING to a practice beneath
the cheapest double-dealing and
double-crossing that is capable
of being imagined"
The charge was denounced as
ridiculous by John M. Keynes,
representative of the British
treasury, now in Washington.
