TRUMAN SUPPORTS
LEND-LEASE BILL
Continued from Page One)

That part of the provisio was
agreeable to Senator Taft, but he
sought to eliminate additional Ian
euage stating that contracts pro
yiding for the disposal Of Lend
Lease goods no longer needed for
mutual defense should not be
deemed to be for postwar relief
rehabilitation or reconstruction
purposes.
Taft and others have argued
that plans for relief and recon.
struction should be made entirely
separately from Lend-Lease ano
under the close control of Con.
gress.
The division on the Taft amend.
ment was on almost straight par
Nv lines. Senators Elender of Lou
isisna. Johnson of Colorado, Over
ion Of Louisiana and Wheeler Of
Montana we're the only Democrats
voting for the proposal, while Aus.
tin of Vermont and Wely of Wis.
consin, both members OF the For.

only Republicans voting against it
The story would have been diff.
ferent except for a last minute
change of votes of Senators Nc
Clellan DARK and Chavez Cd

changed to no.
Taft argued that a recent Lend
Lease contract with France obvi
ously had been made fol
postwar purposes. He said he was
not so much concerned with tina
particular instance as with the
precedent it would establish.
Opposing T a f is amendment
Majority Leader Barley declared
that the language the Ohio senator
sought to delete only provided fol
the orderly liquidation of Lend
Lease. Senator George OF Georgia
ranking Democrat on the Foreign
Relations Committee, said some
senators might believe the Presi
dent was going to misuse his pow
ers under the act, but he added:
Il don't like to take that view

Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich)
who supported Taft, said the Ian

would permit a Lend-Lease agree
ment to be made "a hours before
the end of hostilities and continue
for three years thereafter.
Senator Wherry (R-Neb) said he
had heard ''rumors" that a com.
mitment of $4,000, 900, 900 had been
made to Russia for reconstruction
purposes. This Barley categoric'
