Mr. LUDLOW. Do you think you could make a clean-cut segregation there? Mr. SMITH. Yes, sir; it would be a fairly simple accounting problem. Mr. WOODRUM. Isn't it just as important to help Britain maintain her economy as it is to furnish her weapons with which to fight? Mr. SMITH. I certainly believe that it is. The upheaval of war is a severe blow to her economy and we must develop our relationships under the Lend Lease Act with this in mind. If these relationships are such as to unduly weaken her economy the effect will be in reality a partial cancelation of our intended aid. We must not think solely of aid in terms of defense articles, but of the problem as a whole. Back of the weapons must be an economy capable of sustaining the war effort. Mr. WOODRUM. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith, for your statement.
