LEND-LEASE AID
NEW ZEALAND & AUSTRALIA WILL GIVE MORE THIS YEAR. THAN THEY WILL RECEIVE FROM UNITED STATES. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) WASHINGTON, April 18. Lend-lease officials confirm that this year the United States will receive more aid, on a dollars and cents basis, from New Zealand and Australia than the United States will supply, the Associated Press of America says. The officials indicated that at present the flow of aid both ways was about even, but New Zealand and Australia will pass this before the end of the year. In a statement in Wellington last week the Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mi’ Sullivan, said that orders for reverse lease-lend assistance this year amounting to £9,000,000 or £10,000,000 had been given by the United States to New Zealand. He said we had built large hospitals and camps for our allies, and we were supplying 500,000 pairs of boots, and clothing and other equipment. Our 1943 schedule of supplies for United States forces included such items as 100,000,0001 b. of meat, and 11,000 tons of soaps. New Zealand also provided harbour and ship repairing facilities and other aid.
