Demand Quick Return
OF Unused War
Materials In Europe

WASHINGTON. July 6.
fUP)-A senate committee
Friday called for speedy re-
turn of lend-laase materials
to the United States to keep them
from being used to promote future
wars in Europe and to help cut the
cost Of the Pacific war.
The Kilgore subcommittee Of the
senate war Investigating committee
termed it "deplOrable" that officials
have not even considered the prob
lem of utilizing lease supplies
still abroad.
1t charged that lend-lease ac-
counts have become almost hope
lessly confused" and that the role
of the state depart:n in lend
lease has been anything but a Wig
orous championing of United States
interests"
The report was submitted BY Sens.

The senators pointed out that
lend-lease arrangements provide for
the return of the war material to
the United States. If the weapons
and supplies are left abroad. they
said, it may tend ito have an ad-
verse influence upon the peace of
Europe"
Materials which we're intended for
use against the Germans, the report
said, ought not to be permitted J.
to promote further unrest, blood
