...report stressed the forms of U.S. aid-the World War equipment that reached Britain after Dunkirk, the 2,000,000-ton shipping pool, the repairs of British ships in U.S. yards. But it gave only dollar totals and comparative figures (twelve times as many planes in the first five months of 1941 as in the same period in 1940), did not show whether Britain was getting enough, left aid to Britain under the Lend-Lease Act still largely in the category of "on hand and on order...

Since then a looming power shortage has caused public powerites to ask for more generators. Since then diversion of tankers to the 2,000,000-ton shipping pool has enforced huge orders for pipelines; the aircraft program has once more been enlarged; a further increase in shipbuilding is projected. Since then Crete has fallen. Puzzled laymen wondered whether Mr. Dunn's next quarterly report would include still gloomier revisions than Lend-Lease enforced upon this...
