Scope and Contents

President Truman's call to cancel lend-lease debts has caused concern among Americans. The article discusses the need for fair concessions from countries owing money to the US, particularly Great Britain, in return for cancellation of debts. It raises questions about whether Britain will lower tariffs and abandon protectionist measures in exchange for new loans. Fair dealing by both debtor and creditor is emphasized in the context of post-war economic relations.
