MAINTAINING LEND=LEASE FLOW ATLANTIC SHIPPING PLANS. ALLIED AND AMERICAN VESSELS. (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) WASHINGTON. September 18. President Roosevelt has asked Congress for an additional 5,985,000,000 dollars for the lend and lease programme, to obviate any interruption of the flow of aid. It is learned that a large number of vessels whose flags are allied to Britain, which are plying on regular trade routes, have been scheduled to enter the trans-Atlantic trade, in order to carry war materials to the British forces in England and Africa, and also some to Russia. The Netherlands and Norway are expected to contribute, the latter about 100 ships. United States vessels, which the Neutrality Act bars from combat zones, will assume the routes the Allied vessels abandon, with a gentleman’s agreement that United States ships will return to their own routes after the cessation of hostilities.
