After

Am-

The
President
told
a
press
conference
before
the
legislation
was
introduced
that
the
powers
it
gave
him
were
needed
to
avoid
delay.
The
bill
would
permit
the
President
to
manufacture
defence
articles
for
any
country
whose
defence
he
deemed
vital
to
the
United
States;
to
sell,
transfer,
exchange,
lease,
lend
or
otherwise
dispose
of
any
defence
article
to
any
such
government.
One
clause
enables
the
United
States
to
repair
defence
articles
whether
manufactured
in
the
United
States
or
not.
For
example,
British
warships
could
be
repaired
in
Brooklyn
or
any
other
United
States
navy
yard
if
the
President
considered
it
in
the
interest
of
