Lend-Lease Help
Totals 2 BillionQ
WASHINGTON, March 11.- P)-
Reporting a total of $2,570,452,444
Lend-Lease help for the United Na-
tions in the last year, Presiden
Roosevelt bluntly told Congress today
that "what has been done falls fa
short of what is needed to turn th
tide toward victory."
The war will be won, he asserted.
"only by contact with the enemies,
and by attack upon them." It takes
time and "more and still more equip-
ment and transportation" to organ-
ize the offensive, he said. "Success
will come dearly at the price of de-
feats and losses," he added, and:
"The offensive that the United Na-
tions must, and will drive into the
heart of the Axis will take the entire
strength that we possess."
Fraction of Lend-Lease Total
The $2,570,452,444 in' assistance
extended is but a fraction of the to-
tal Lend-Lease funds of $48,006,650,-
000 authorized by Congress, and
when broken down, it includes but
$1,411,000,000 in actual transfers of
materials.
Of the remainder, $448,000,000 is
awaiting transfer or use, $128,000,000
is in process of manufacture, $126,-
000,000 was in repairing and servic-
ing ships of United Nations, $243,-
000,000 was in the rental or charter
of ships, and $170,000,000 was in-
vested in production facilities in the
United States.
However, nearly $12,985,000,000-
the total of the first two Lend-Lease
appropriations--has been obligated
or is covered by contracts already let.
Further progiss lies in the rapidity
with which American industry can
convert itself to war time production.
Mr. Roosevelt repeatedly emphasized
that the combined and total effort
of the nation is needed.
Roosevelt Praises Program
Transmitting the report to Con-
gress, as required periodically by the
Lend-Lease law, Mr. Roosevelt prais-
ed the program as having sustained
the nations which were fighting the
aggressor and prevented a situation
which would otherwise have seen the
Axis nations attacking the United
States directly by now.
The fact that the program was in-
augurated nine months before Amer-
ica's entry into the war, he said, had
enabled us to increase our industrial
capacity for the manufacture of war
materials, and have them tested in
actual combat; with resulting im-
provements in design.
United States To Send
Lend-Lease Aid To Peru
WASHINGTON, March 11.-(A)-
The United States and Peru signed a
Lend-Lease agreement today provid-
ing for an undisclosed amount of
arms and armament for the South
American republic.
Acting Secretary of State Welles
and Peruvian Ambassador Freyre y
Santander signed the document at
the State Department for their re-
spective countries.
At the same time the two officials
signed an agreement by which a sec-
ond United States Army officer will
go to Peru in an advisory capacity.
Van .Paassen,
Noted 'Writer,
To T alk Here
Pierre van Paassen is going to be
a determining factor in aiding wo-
men students on this campus who are
facing financial difficulty because of
the industrial reorganization of the

country for war, or who come from
foreign countries now occupied by
the Axis.
Because the proceeds of the March
19 lecture will go to the Student War
Emergency Fund, Panhellenic has
presented each sorority with eight
tickets to be distributed by the vari-
ous house presidents. Sponsor of
the fund is the Ann Arbor Alumnae
Club, under whose auspices van
Paassen's address has been arranged.

(This is the third in a series of sur-
vey articles on student government as
now constituted on the University
canpus.)
By DAN BEHILMAN
Congenitally hampered by scat-
tered distribution of its membership,
Independent Men's Congress has few
governing powers to supplement its
function as a "service organization."
Congress was set up five years ago
as a group to represent every inde-
pendent male student, but it has
failed to fulfill the legislative and
judiciary functions of a democratic
representative body. And like nearly
every other organization on campus,
this failure can only be traced to the
students represented.
Body's Capability
According to Dick Shuey, '42E,
President of Congress, the indepen-
dent men's body is capable of what-
ever governmental action that it can
take through the University. Plans
to improve lighting in rooming
houses, Shuey pointed out, would
have to be approved by the Dean of
Students before going into effect.
Shuey went beyond some quarters'
criticism of independent's lack of
400 Educators

power to deal with rooming house
problems. Men living in rooming
houses actually have rights that they
never exercise merely because they
are unaware of the rights' existence,
he asserted.
Out of the entire body of indepen-
dent men, only fifteen have brought
cases ofrooming house difficulties to
the attention of Congress this year.
"We hear of a lot more cases after
they've been dropped than those we
discover early enough to take any
action," Shuey declared.
Congress' Record
Congress' record is one of complete
disinterest on the part of its con-
stituency. Last year insurance com-
panies were approached by Congress
officials and finally consented to in-
sure individual students against fire
and theft at low rates. Not one in-
dependent took advantage of this
farsighted plan.
Another instance of Congress'
problems in performing even a serv-
ice function can be found in its final
examination file in the main library.
Student response to this service is
such that faculty contributions must
make up nearly all of the file.
Independent Disinterest
Shuey laid some independent dis-
interest to wide geographic distri-
bution (Congress staffmen find typ-
ing, filing, and mailing a major duty)]
and the fact that many non-affili-
ated students work their way through
school. Only one member of the pres-
ent Congress Executive Council is
not partially or completely self-sup-
porting.
Shuey did not find full justifica-1
tion for apathy in these reasons.
"The campus attitude on the whole
question of student government,"t
Shuey declared, "can well be com-i
pared to the average engineering stu-
dent's ideas on economics and politi-1
cal science."

(Special to The Daily)
CHAMPAIGN, March 11- Two
hockey teams with but a single idea
come to grips here tomorrow night
to begin the final series which might
easily decide the Big Ten hockey
championship-Michigan vs. Illinois.
A month ago this final two-game
series for both squads might have
pictured a totally different story. At
that time the Illini were high and
mighty in collegiate hockey circles.
But that was a month ago.
Sporting but a slim framework of
his original squad, Coach Vic Hey-
liger will ice a Black and Orange
sextet with one determination-that
of retaining the Conference title
which it took last year. Still one
fact sticks out: gone is that great
line composed of the Palazzari
brothers and high-scoring Roland
DePaul. That was the same starting
front ne that paced the Illini in the
two sound lacings handed the Wol-
verines earlier in the season, 10-0I
and 6-2.
Since the high-powered depletion
of the Illinois team at the turn of
the first semester, the champs have
won two and tied the same number

Clurchill Tells Of Plan:
Cripps To Go'To-India To Pave
Way For Full Self -Government

(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, March 11. - Britain's
War Cabinet has agreed unanimously
on a plan to smooth the way for
eventual dominion status for India
and Sir Stafford Cripps, trusted
friend of the sub-continent's 390 mil-
lions, is going to India to determine
if the plan will work, Winston
Churchill announced today.
Making his eagerly-awaited state-
ment to the House of Commons, the
Prime Minister called the plan "a
strong contribution to aid India in
the realization of full self-govern-
ment." But he Said that it was not
yet being announced lest its rejection
by essential elements of the Indian
'population "provoke fierce communal
disputes at the moment when the
enemy is at the gates of India."
United States Interested $
Most members of Parliament be-
lieved the Churchill plan offered less
than the immediate independence
demanded by some Indians but more
than post-war introduction of self-

dominion status for India as soon as
possible after the war. Now, he said,
the War Cabinet, "in order to clothe
these general declarations with pre-
cision and to convince all classes,
races and creeds in India of our sin-
cere resolve, . . . have unitedly agreed
upon conclusions for present and fu-
ture atcion."
These conclusions; he explained,
would avoid "the alternative dan-
gers: either that resistance of a pow-
erful minority might impose an in-
definite veto upon the wishes of the
majority, or that a majority decision
might be taken which would be re-
sisted to a point destructive of inter-
nal harmony and fatal to the setting
up of a new constitution."
New Plans To Be Made
Asked if Cripps, in seeking Indian
agreement to the plan, would proceed
on the basis of the 1940 promise of
post-war dominion status, Churchill
replied sharply that the envoy's talks
"will proceed on the basis of the new
conclusions."

New Jap Assault
MANDALAY, Burma, March 11.-
(IP)-British - s some 150 miles
north of lost Rangoon braced them-
selves today for expected assaults on
Toungoon and Prome by Japanese

Lower Burma.
The two cities are 80 miles apart
and about one-third of the distance
from Rangoon to Mandalay.
Unofficially the Japanese were re-
ported to have reached a village 16
miles south of Toungoon and to have
established contact with bands of re-
bellious Burmese along the .Irrawad-
