DEFENCE OF U.S.A.
♦ BY HELPING THE ALLIES MUCH ALREADY DONE. PROPOSALS TO DO MORE. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) NEW YORK, September 5. Mr Clark Eichelberger; executive director of a committee to defend America by siding with the Allies, said he was negotiating to provide Britain with, firstly, a secret bombsight; secondly, the entire output of tanks; thirdly, half the output of flying fortress bombers; fourthly, the use of Texas and California airports to train British airmen; fifthly, 250.000 more rifles. He said the United states had already sent 80,000 machine-guns, 700 field guns, half a million rifles and mountains of ammunition, of which the Germans are aware. Consequently, the sending of fifty destroyers had given little cause for a furore.
