ABOLITION URGED
Lend-Lease Accounting (Received November 1, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, October 31 A cash value cannot be placed on men killed and wounded, General Sir Walter Venning told the Press. Tbeivfore, lie urged the abolition of all bookkeeping of lend-lease transactions. He said nothing was gained by the continuance of such accounting. Lend-lease for a long time had been on a reciprocal basis, he said. Britain was furnishing equipment and supplies to American troops overseas and the United States was furnishing equipment to Britain. Fighting aid was also on a reciprocal basis with Allied troops contributing their lives to the common cause on the various battlefields. Since it was impossible to place a cash value on them, there was little reason to continue keeping books for cash value of weapons sent or received.
