EFFORT TO EASE IMPACT
''INTERPRETING'' DIRECTIVE WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.
Following a trans-Atlantic telephone conversation between President Truman and Mr Attlee, and American purchasing experts have started working on a series of "interpretations" of President Truman's, order halting Lend-Lease, designed to ease the impact of the cessation on the British diet and economy. Mr Attlee is understood to have oxpressed 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 British-financed food purchases in the United States, pending the arrival of a special mission from London.
