Title
- That's good stuff, Winston ...
Summary
- World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt talking to a disgruntled looking British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Both men stand outside a door labeled "U.S. Senate, Keep Out, This Is Our Business." From behind the door can be heard "Whose oil is being used up? Not Britain's. We've got to settle the matter of landing fields after the war! Who is getting the best of Lend Lease? The British are making post war commercial plans. Why aren't we doing it?" Roosevelt says cheerfully, "That's good stuff, Winston, it shows we're just as determined to live together as we are to die together." In October 1943, the Senate held secret sessions to hear the report of five Senators who had toured the war fronts. Their report contained a number of criticisms of Great Britain including the fact that most of the oil for the war was coming from the U.S. and not enough from the British fields in the Middle East, that the U.S. had no agreements giving it postwar rights in the air fields it had built abroad, and that the British were relabeling our Lend Lease shipments and retransmitting them to Turkey and India. Roosevelt appears to be trying to placate Churchill by suggesting that these criticisms mean that the U.S. wants to continue a special relationship with Britain after the war.
