(2) The signing of a master lease-lend agreement with the United States, which was describ- ed by the United States State De- partment as an "additional link in the chain of solldarity being forged by the United Nations in their twofold task of prosecuting the war against aggression to a successful conclusion and of cre- ating a new and better world."

Second ont in Europe The orders meant that Great Britain and the United States are stripping for battles to come.
