LEND-LEASE GOODS
ABOLITION OF ACCOUNTS
URGED
LONDON, October 31. A cash value cannot be placed on men killed and wounded, General Sir Walter Yenning, Quarter-Master-General to the Forces, told the Press. Therefore, he urged the abolition of all bookkeeping of lend-lease transactions. bHe said that nothing was gained by the continuance of such accounting. Lend-lease for a long time had been on a reciprocal basis, he said. Britain was furnishing equipment and supplies to American troops overseas and the United States was furnishing equip ment to Britain. Aid in fighting was also on a reciprocal basis with Allied troops contributing their lives to the common cause on the various battlefields. ;■/ ■
Since it was impossible to place a cash value on them, there was. little reason to continue keeping books about the cash value of weapons sent or received.
