LEND-LEASE AID
GIVEN BY UNITED STATES TO RUSSIA NOT SUBJECT TO REPAYMENT POINT CLEARED UP BY MR NELSON (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) WASHINGTON, November 10. Enthusiastic praise of the Russian war programme and particularly of the Russian people was given by Mr Donald Nelson, head of the War Production Board, who has been visiting Russia, at a Press conference. “Everyone is continually working foi’ the Red Army, for which no sacrifice is too great,” said Mr Nelson. “I did not know what all-out war was till I saw the Russians.” He stated that he found the Russian production excellent, and better than the American in one respect, namely, the control of the flow of materials into and out of the plants. Russia was a great industrial nation and was going to be greater. Mr Nelson said that Premier Stalin's pledge to him that Russia would repay her obligations to the United States in full, to which he had previously re-, ferred, did not apply to lend-lease war aid, but to the products which would be received after the war. Mr Nelson added that his speech had been incorrectly interpreted.
