They declined to estimate the cost
of that equipment or to give more
definite information about types and
quantities, but recurrent rumors here
have placed the total cost, of the pro-
gram in excess of $3,000,000,000.
Machinery for the lease-lending
plan probably would work about as
follows:
The British plans and specifications
would be taken to Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau. Then leaders
would consult to make sure the Brit-
ish list fitted into American procure-
ment programs.
While the lease-lending bill is be-
ing debated, the British were report-
ed making ready to liquidate their
estimated $900,000,000 of American
"direct" investments.
Sir Edward Peacock of the British
treasury arrived here Ulis week for
that purpose. Proceeds of the sales
have been earmarked largely to pay
for contracts already placed by the
British.
