Italy Gets 100 Million
In Lease-Lend Goods
Py the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States has begun allo-
eating lease-lend goods to Italy and
present plans are to send $100, 0,000,-
900 worth.
This aid to a defeated enemy be-
came known yesterday in the dis
closure of a War Department di-
rective approved by President Tru-
man.
The goods are expected to include
raw materials, transportation equip
ment and industrial and agricul-
tural machinery
Oscar Cox, deputy administrator
of the Foreign Economic Admins
tration, said the presence of Ameri-
can troops in Italy, plus Italy's re-
cent declaration of war against
Japan, we're main factors held to
justify lease-lend aid.
ALLEGATION and shipment of $780,
000.0 in goods are due to be COM
pleted by November. However, the
lag period in actual delivery is ex-
pected to last into January when
final evacuation of American troops
in Italy is anticipated.
Mr.. Cox explained that the Lease
Lend Act authorizes aid whenever
the United States national interest
is jeopardized and that the plan is
to aid Italy's internal economy as a
measure in the United States de-
tense.

Truman Did Not Mean

Isles, Senators Say
Congressional Demands
Voiced for Full Control
Of Strategic Bases
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
President Truman's statement
that the United States is not
seeking lone piece of territory
prompted congressional demands
today that this country retain
complete control of strategic Pa
cific islands.
Senator George. Democrat. OF
Georgia, foreign relations commit
teeman, told reporter he thinks
there are areas taken from the jap
anese at high cost in lives where
United States control should not be
hampered even with the technical
restraints of a proposed interna-
tional trusteeship system.
Senator Georges declaration was
echoed in part by other Senators
All expressed the opinion that Mr.
Truman was not talking about the
Pacific when he said at a flag
raising in Berlin:
There is not one piece Of ter
ritory or one thing of a monetary
nature that we want out of this
war"
Truman Called Liberal"
Nobody argued with the Presi-
dents further contention that the
United States is not fighting for
conquest, although Senator Ell
lender, Democrat, of Louisiana said
he thought Mr.. Truman was being
too liberal"
Il think we must retain the is
lands We have conquered in the Pa
cific, as well as some bases we have
built in other parts of the world,
Senator Ellender said. Moreover
I think that some of our Allies
should agree to make available to
US some of the natural resources we
have dissipated in the war, such as
OIL"
Senator Austin, Republican, OF
Vermont said he didn't think the
President intended to "cut across
the bow" Of Army and Navy policy
which calls for retention of Pacific
areas this country needs for future
defense purposes.
Austin and George Agree.
Senators Austin and George
agreed that some of the nonstrategie
islands the Japanese held under
mandate from the last war we'll may

proposed as part of the United
Nations peace-keeping organization
Under this system the United
States could specify in an agree.
ment with the proposed trusteeshir
council the terms under which thu
islands would be administered If Il
elected to put strategic areas under
trusteeship, it would agree with the
World Security Council on the terms
But Senator Byrd, Democrat, o.

claims to such islands as Okinaws
