Russia To Pay
Stiff Lend-Lease i
WASHINGTON, l/P) — Russia
stands to get a stiffer lend-lease 1
bill than any of this country’s other
wartime allies opce the long-de
yr i settlement talks get under
wav.
The reason, however, is neither
Soviet-American differences on
current world issues nor the Krem
lin’s year-long refusal even to dis
i'u -s her $11,298,000,000 lend-lease
account.
Rather, it is the larger propor
• on of lasting, civilian-type goods
which were shipped to the Soviet
Union as part of the $50,000,000,000
flow of supplies which poured
from the United States to its allies
up to V-J day. •
In the case of other nations this
country has agreed to accept—
either in cash or promises to nnv—
less than three cents on the dollar.
But officials who nelped wind
up the vast enterprise said today
Russia will be expected to ante at
a substantially heavier rate.
Approximately 15 per cent of
Japan is being cultivated.
