ConnaIIy and George
Want Close Of War
10 End Lease-Lend
3y the Associated Press.

~ ING ASsVCiatco GIeos'
Top-ranking members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee expressed the view today that
lease-lend aid to other countries
must be brought to an end at the
close of the war.
Chairman Connally and Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia. who
plloted the lease-lend program to
Senate passage during his chair
manship of the committee, shared
belief that its use is limited strictly
to military and defense measures.
Senator George said he thought
the Implications of President Roose-
velt's message yesterday submitting
a quarterly lease-lend report to Con-
gress was exactly in accord with
my concept of lease-lend."
'The underlying basis OF the
1ease-lend program is the defense of
this country and providing for aid
to those countries whose defense is
vital to our own," Senator George
said.
The President asserted that until
the unconditional surrender Of both
Japan and Germany" the United
States should continue lease-lend
ION whatever scale is necessary to
make the combined striking power
of all the United Nations against
our enemies as overwhelming and Us
effective as we can make it."
Without commenting on the Pres
ident's language, Senator Connally
told reporter
"Lease-lend was a military and
defense measure. When the war
with Germany and Japan comes to
an end, lease-lend should be ter
minated"
