209 Legation in Washington to Department of External Affairs

Cablegram 732 WASHINGTON, 21 August 1945, 9.12 p.m.

SECRET

LEND LEASE.

The President has announced that Lend Lease supplies will be
stopped immediately.

The United Kingdom is protesting and interpretations of the
statement are now being discussed. We shall report further as soon
as possible.

At present it seems that Foreign Economic Administration only is
involved and not supplies transferred from Military sources.
