When, it is understood, Mr. Attlea expressed misgivings as to the ultimate effects of the termination of lendlease, President Truman replied that the misgivings would not materialise. American officials then arranged to give the British time to establish substitute purchasing machinery. Furthermore, the lend-lease administration agreed to handle Britishfinanced food purchases in the United States, pending the arrival of a special mission from London. *
