LONDON, Nov. 24.-Londons
Fleet street and the British govern
ment's publicity Offices found them
selves in something of mixup to-
day over the long heralded reports
on mutual lease-lend aid.
An arrangement apparently was
made whereby the British report on
reverse lease-lend would be handed
to the press for publication at noon,
London time. President Roosevelt's
report to Congress on this same
subject was issued for release at
noon, Washington time.
Due to the time difference, the
British White Paper thus was given
head start in both British and
American newspapers.
However, the British Press Asso-
citation, a news agency owned by the
British newspapers, scored some
thing of a scoop" on the British
White Paper and distributed de-
tailed story during the early morn
ing hours for publication at noon.
To add to the mix-up, one Lon
don paper, the Daily Herald, dis
played inconspicuously on page four

dent Roosevelt's report to Congress,
scheduled for publication at 5 pm.
