lend lease as related to the war new management. Jack Holvey, i
effort, whcih he approves, Con-
gressman Lawrence H. Smith, of
this district, defended his attitude
in a letter to this newspaper to-
day.
The letter, addressed to the edi-
tor of this newspaper, is in reply
to an editorial which criticized Con-i
gressman Smith's vote against the
extension of lend-lease. The letter
reads as follows:
"This is in response to the edi-
torial which you carried regarding
my vote on lend-lease extension.
The right to express your own con.
clusions as you have is a funda-
mental one and I have no quarrel
with you on that score.
"In the interest of fair play,
however. I am setting out here-
after some of the reasons which in
my opinion justify my vote on that
measure. I am sure you will agree
that in a consideration of legisla-
tive matters we have some ad-
Vantage over you men who are far
from the scene of action. We have
the benefit of committee hearings,
printed testimony, confidential con-
ferences with committee members
and the debate on the floor of the
House.
ets Forth Objections
"Now what is the record of lend-
lease since it was continued one
year ago? Three important events
occurred to which I could and
would not close my eyes. I shall
set them out in relative importance
