Ways Of reducing administrative

OF these had to be closed month
later for lack of attendance. The
original allotment has thus LASTED

Britain 10 Pay Cash
For Capital Goods
Under Revised Plan
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

In a revision of lease.lend
policy, the American Govern
ment has decided to request
cash from the British govern
|ment for capital goods usable in
postwar economic operations as
well as during the present con-
f1ict, it was learned reliably yes
terday.
The British government has come
into possession Of a fair sized bal
ance Of dollars through the cooper
alton Of the Commonwealth govern
ments, like Australia and Canada
that sell materials for cash to the
United States. It is the possession
Of these dollars that makes 1t pos
sible for the lease-lend policy
amendment.
Progress in the organization of
the Foreign Economic Administra-
ton, the central agency set up here
last September, has brought the de-
velopment of the "hard-boiled" at
titude In lease-lend. The Office OF
Lend-Lease Administration was in
cluded in FEA.
The lease lend administrators
plans to eliminate operations which
in the past have caused criticism
considered justifiable in administra-
ton quarters. One of these opera
tions was the practice Of our buying
fish in Iceland and turning 1t over
to the British on lease lend.
The British crisis in dollars late
in 1910 inspired the creation Of the
lease-lend system. At that time
Great Britain, after making heavy
munitions purchases over here under
the Neutrality Acts cash-and-carry
formula, was said to be "scarping
the bottom Of the barrel of her
resources salable over here.
The production of Cuban gin,
largely consumed in the United
States, is expected shortly to come
to an end as result of firmness
on the part of FEA, which is seek
ing a formula to encourage the use
of Cuban black-strap molasses for
production of industrial alcohol in
stead of gin.
The Office of Economic Warfare,
one of FEA's predecessors, made at
tempts to increase Cuban industrial
alcohol production but failed. The
DEW received no cooperation from
the State Department or the Amer
ican Embassy in Havana at that
time, but the degree of co-opera-
ton now is greatly increased.
