"That's right." replied Neal
"Now." said Anderson, "by the use

dential nominee, today urged the
United States to provide Britain with
five or 10 destroyers a month
Appearing as the administration's
"cleanup witness" before the crowded
senate foreign relations committee,
Willkie said that he was "forced to
conclude that the only way to lender
aid quicklv enough Is to pass this bill
H. R 1776i with modifications."
“If we are to aid Eng and effec-
tively, we should provide her with
from five to 10 destroyers a month.’’
he said. "We should be able to do
this directly and -wlftly rather than
through the rigauarole of dubious
legalistic interpretations”
Wlllkie's reference to "dubious" <n-
terpretations apparently concerned
the methods used when President
Roosevelt traded sh over-age destroy-

In Britain, suggested that the Amer-

"I believe congress should retain
the power to pass upon any aid to
any other countries which may be
later subject to aggression," he de-
clared
He also called for a time limit,
