WAR ALLY, PRESS ASSERTS
LONDON, Dec. 20. (AP) News
of the arms speedup in America and
President Roosevelt's proposals to
lend aid to Britain crowded the
front pages of London newspapers.
and some sections of the press de-
scrlb."the United States as a full
fledged n lly In the war against Ger
many and Italy.
Kditorfal and special writers ac
claimed the president's proposals
as having wiped out Britain's war
debt default and her current credit
dilemma.
"America Is our ally in the strug
gle," proclaimed the Daily Sketch,
which deplored the necessity of
such expedients as arms loans and
said they arose from "the fiction
that America is not In the war as
much as we ."
"America is as much a belliger
ent as Britaln-the only difference
being that we are in the front line,"
declared this commentator.
The Mail's editorial page assured
readers that declarations ly Secre
tary of State IlulL and William S.
Knudsen of the national defense
advisory committee had finally
shocked Americans "out of their
smug slumber" in which they "tried
to have their guns and candy, too
by maintaining production of
'peacetime niceties."
"But America isn't living in
peacetime," wrote Don Iddon, the
Mail's New York correspondent.
"She Is the non-belligerent ally of
Creat Briiain. She is Britain's sup
ply base and plane and ship pro
vider. "It Isn't n role that can be filled
if all old hours and old wages am
not to be given up."
