the war should fall according to
the rule of equality of sacrifice
and equality in EFFORT
Byrnes' statement was not be-
heved to be any change in that
policy which has generally been
interpreted by officials here and
abroad to mean that the United
States would not seek dollar pay
ments for lend-lease aid.
Late today the State Department
issued statement which said that
Byrnes had been asked the follow
ing question:
In the light of the recent lend
lease reports, are we to assume
that all lend-lease debts are to be
Cancelled and the only lend-lease
settlements required are settle
ments for shipments unused or un-
delivered at the close of the WARP"
Byrnes replied:
that assumption. Hasty generali-
cations should be avoided. Nothing
more should be read into the re-
cent lend-lease report than is writ
ten there The President made no
statement simplifying that report.
Teh report set forth factors to be
considered in connection with the
settlements. Those settlements are
for future determination.

clines to give himself credit for
the performance of his teams.

Far from optimistic about this
city's chances Of joining the It'll

Wade yesterday announced that he
was "approaching' Wilmington
businessmen and individuals for

The stand of the Wilmington

When first informed, by this

the point wherea application Tor
membership, accompanied by a
check of S., 900 to insuret his city S
good faith would, in all probability
be promptly accepted, Wade ex-
pressed doubts that that amount
could be raised.
Yesterday, the $1,000 was dismiss
ed by the politician as minor

the distances involved were too
great for economical operations.

until Mr.. Wade makes another
statement.
