U.S.. Plans Lend-Lease
Pacts With Australia
And New Zealand
Reciprocal Distribution
Of War Goods to Be
Provided in Agreements
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

The English, Australian and
New Zealand governments will
sign agreements with the United
States next week for reciprocal
lend-lease distribution of war
materials, it was learned today.
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador
Peter Fraser, Prime Minister of
New Zealand, and Minister Sir
Owen Dixon of Australia are to
represent their governments at the
signing at the State Department
This matter is said TO be one of the
principal reasons for Prime Min
lister Frasers coming to Washing
ton.
The agreements are expected to
provide formally for crediting the
three governments with the goods
they make available to United
States forces and representatives.
The lend-lease balance sheet now
is marked by debts for the govern
ments that receive goods from
America under the lend lease sys-
tenn.
The three governments that are
going to sign have been making
available already to United States
representatives goods like food,
shelter material and other items.
The British have supplied the
United States with barrage balloons
for use on the Pacific Coast.
The master lend-lease agreements
which this Government has been
signing with individual United Ma
tions governments since early in the
year provide for a reciprocal ar
rangement.
Among the materials and services
now being provided to us by other
United Nations without dollar pay
ment are machine tools, anti-air-
craft guns and ammunition, repairs
for vessels In foreign ports and air
rights for our air ferry services.
