PAGE SIX The Home Front The President in his seventh Lend-Lease report to Congress pointed out —‘Supplies from the United States have had an im portant part in the war effort of the United Nations.” We can place a value in dollars and cent on the gdcds and services: made available to our allies through Lend-Lease, but we can not fully appraise the strategic value of the aid we have given, beyond the fact that our Lend- Lease assistance definitely has advanced the allied cause on many battle fronts and brought victory over the Axis that much nearer. It is still harder to mea sure the value of the reciprfecal aid we have received from our . allies. Under the terms of the Lend- Lease Act. passed by Congress on March 11, 1941, the President was authorized to permit the de livery of a wide range of goods, j products and weapons and the | rendering of many kinds of ser vices by this country for the! benefit of “the Government of any country whose defense the President deems vital to the de fense of the United States.” At the time the Act. was pass ed, there was the possibility that by putting the weight of Amer ica's economic resources fully . ■' ' f.

The total value of Lend :s: Lease aid for the months of JS September, October and Novem ber, 1942, was four times the to ic tal for the corresponding three h months of 1941, and nearly twice 1- the total for all 1941. Aid was j is then being extended at a rate of i n more than ten billion dollars a year, or about 1’ percent of the h current rate of spending on the •- entire Unitd States war pro ‘l gram. r j Expenditures of such magni j tude must be justified, and the results of the Lend-Lease policy s of helping to arm and supply j f - our allies as part ;cf our essen- I " i tial war measures have amply I > I demonstrated the soundness of | ? | the plan. I Too billion and a quarter dol lars devoted to li nd-ILease in : 1941 was used to good purpose. Our goods and services aided ; and encouraged Britain and Rus j sia in their struggle with the Nazis and, at the same time, the volume of war orders served to : build up our own facilities for producing weapons and muni tions before we were faced by war itself. As these orders were j channeled through the Govern ment. instead of being given to ■ various factories directly, we be j pan to build the governmental j machinery for handling the far : more difficult war problems that ' followed Pearl Harbor. I Military Items Top List | More than half of all Lend- j Lease supplies exported in 1942 ; were military it:ms. The Brit ish have used American-made | planes and tanks in their North ! African campaigns' against the | ! Axis, while British pilots in our ! j planes have smashed at the j j Nazis cn the continent. Other ■ tons of war goods and equipment , have gone to India, the Middle ; j East, Australia. New Zealand, > I and to a less extent—because of ; j the closing of the Burma Road— j to China. The United States and Great Britain between them | have shipped (but not always j delivered over the Northern cton- ' vcy route) to Soviet Russia dur- [ ing the past year, more than 3,- 000 planes, more than 4,000 i tanks, more than 30.000 trucks, jeeps and oth:r vehicles and 1 hundreds of thousands of tons of i fcicd, medical supplies and other i produce. Agricultural products, mostly foods, exported under the Lend- Lease program March 11, 1941, j to Octob:r 31, 1942, were valued l at 51,147.000,000. Thcfe food sup- I plies have been particularly im- i pertant in helping to sustain th" i civilian copulations and armed ] forces of the United Kingdom and and the Soviet Union and keep them in fighting trim, yet j the volume of our food exports j has beer, small bv comnarison | with the amounts we have re- ] served ficr our own war services I and for American civilians. Our ! Lend-Lease shipments of proces- j sed milk products, during 1942, j were only 4 percent of our milk ! supply, in that period we sent abroad less than one percent of the meats now under voluntary rationing, except pork, of which we shipped 17 percent, and about 12 percent cf our total egg pro Kffl Fresh Load of Tennessee Mules Just Received * gjjßpj ' ° ll are t 0 -d mule this year, come down and look 3r q t ' ll / l |< an^e f in , eve^ y ua ' an( J lam always hereto Back up my '™'“ w p aXi T.

L. Burch of Route 2, Rox boro, has been planting a new variety of Irish potato for the past three years. This variety, called the “Sequoia”, was first grown in North Caholina in the western part of the State. Mr. j Burch secured seed with the as j sistance of the Department of Agriculture. His crop in 1940 and 1941 was qulite successful. In 1942 he planted two acres of this variety. He has harvested one third of an acre, securing 150 bushels, or an acreage yield of 25 bushels. j Mr. Burch also planted the old I favorite Irish Cjcbbler. From j five-eighths of an acre he has harvested 100 bu., or an acreage yield of 160 bushels per acre. j The same fertilizer, 5-7-5, was applied to both varieties, at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre. 1 Mr. Burch states that he plants j Irish Cobbler in order to have I 1 , . ! auction went abroad. ? | But the benefits of Lend > j Lease exchange have not all ) j been in favor of our allies, by • | any means. Damaged American . | warships and merchant vessels • j abroad have been repaired in • ■ friendly shipyards. Many of the | American contingents sailing to i j the fighting fronts travel in j British ships, and British planes | and warships protect our con i. voys. Supplies and service fur nished to American overseas | forces include various. shipping and supply facilities, food, uni j forms, and (ether quartermaster , • supplies that can be provided on ; the spot and so save shipping j space. Materials and labor to build | airdromes for U. S. air forces in ! Britain and the buiding of troop j cantonments, bases, headquarters and storage facilities have ab- j . sorbs d a gfsod part of the British ! I construction industry. Both Aus ' tralia and New Zealand are : straining their domestic economy to the utmost to supply our fore; s with food, housing, trans- I portatilen, wool and cotton uni i forms, and other equipment and 1 supplies. Similarly, the fighting j j French have contributed to our \ military needs in regions they control. It is evident, that Lend-Lease has become a major weapon for fighting the war and carryiyng it to a successful conclusion.
