TERRY HAD never been so PAM

You'll identify no one" Brooks
said heatedly. You're being very
quiet for the next few days. You've
done enough already to mark you
in the eyes of the league. And
you're taking no more chances"
They won't bother me-" scoffed
Terry.
But she was shouted down.
The fat little village doctor came
then and she went up to her room
to let him examine her wound

with me-"

One OF the most constantly re-
peated statements to confuse the
American people is that Lend-Lease
is merely a bookkeeping transac-
ton. The fact that this country
paid to have its troops shipped TO
Europe on British ships to defend
Great Britain is called a half-truth,
the whole truth being apparently
that that too, was nothing but a
| bookkeeping transaction. But the
bookkeeping shows that we put up
S42, 800, 100000, that our allies put
up $500, 100000, of which the
British share was S5,000,000, 900,
leaving us holding the bag to the
tune of more or less $37 900, 900.
The entire transaction may be only
! bookkeeping but 1t comes out of
taxes.
But that is not all Governor
Lehman asks for $500, zoe, goo for
UNRRA of which the United States
would put up S1.32O,OO0,0O0. By
some twist Of bookkeeping, this is
to be in addition to the S550,000,000
this country has already pledged.
The program for the relief and re-
Mobilization of Italy alone calls for
$3.50, 100000. In addition, the Army
reports that II is releasing 52S,3S2
motor vehicles, $4,000 railway cars
and between 1000 and 1000 loco
motives to European governments.
No indication is given in the re-
port of how this is to be paid for,
whether It goes for value. for punk
or for free. In the end, maybe
there will be a bookkeeping trans
action.
In addition, there is the Export
Import Bank which is now working
on loans to France, Belgium and
the Netherlands. The French plan
calls for a loan OF $4,000, 000--a
mere bagatelle. Apparently, there
have been some discussions with
the Russians and the Chinese. but
they are undoubtedly waiting to see
how the British make out with the
grant.in-aid. II the British get that
